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 added two solar tubes in my IRIS. One above the kitchen counter and one in the lanai. I installed tinting to the lani windows and it was dark.
The solar tube people will look at where you want them and provide guidance. For example, they mentioned based upon where a light is installed it could affect seeing the TV during the day.
Follow their guidance.
I get plenty of light from the kitchen solar tube.
Sometimes I believe the lights are on in the kitchen when it is the light coming from the solar tube. I added the night light as well with the solar tube. It’s nice at night to have some light in the kitchen area.
