We specifically sought out this arrangement, not so much for the lighting, but so we could sit out front and not broil. I don't have any problems with the lighting, and we have no solar tubes in the open living room/kitchen/dining area (Gardenia). There are solar tubes in the laundry and guest bath, installed by previous owner.
Obviously, lanai faces south, which works just fine for us.
