See attached floorplan. We have 5 eyeball lights in the kitchen and 3 over the island.

Where do you think is best placement for a solatube? We want more light primarily in the kitchen. Thanks.

I have an Iris and I went wild with Solatubes. I have one in my greatroom; one in the kitchen (in the area between my sink and refrigerator); one in my dark walk-in closet; one in my laundry room; one in my guest bathroom and one in my garage! I had them installed years ago and there was a rebate back then. I also had them install a remote control to close the greatroom Solatube if it gets too bright. Great investment and I have no regrets (Well, I wouldn’t have done the garage because it was so nice having light in the garage that I had windows put in my garage door!)
