Just a consideration to keep in mind. I personally like these.

that seems way out of ordinary , in 2007 I went through the tornado that came through villages , it tore much of my roof off , solar tube w as intact, when the roofers came to install new roof they just lifted up the tube a little and put shingles on and sealed around the tube , friends bought that home there still in it with no problem and I think I installed those tubes in 2005, I also have a cousin living in a home in south Florida that I owned , I think they’re were put in there around the year 2000 , there still working through a bunch of hurricanes , this is my last post on this unless the solar guys pay me lol , FYI Some people are under the impression that you get these kind of large bright search light glare , I rarely watch any daytime TV except foot ball and I’ve never seem to have a problem , I think someone told me something about tv equipped with a non glare , whatever , but my last house was on a golf course with the sun coming down and with the solar tubes , and while watching football I liked to keep sliders open no problem
