We’re thinking about having a solar tube installed. I spoke with Solar Guys who told me about “dimmable” ones. As the name implies, they allow you to control the amount of light coming in. The gentleman seemed very knowledgeable and said these are particularly desirable in a room where there is a TV because sometimes too much light creates a glare with the TV on.

This product concept was new to me. The cost is over $1000. They come with a remote control. I tend to like things simple and low maintenance and I guess I foresee possible problems with a product that was previously trouble/maintenance free.

So, does anyone have one of these and do you recommend it? Likewise, do you have a nondimmable one in a room with a TV and is this a problem in terms of too much light?

We had one of the old kind in our villa and didn’t have glare issues, but perhaps it was far enough from the TV.

Any comments or suggestions welcome.
