In our Begonia, we had a small tube put in the guest bath and the laundry and larger tubes installed in the kitchen and in the center of the livingroom area. They were all very bright and helped to light up the areas. The best place that you can put one if you are only going to put one is the laundry area. There are no windows there and when you come in from the garage, you have to have some light. Not so with the solar tube. Depends on how your house sits on your lot, you may not need one in the guest bath. The installer from Solar Guys knew where the best spots to put them were.
