I think Solar Guys are greathttps://www.talkofthevillages.com/forums/images/smilies/024.gif

Another good thing about a solar tube in the shower is that direct sunlight is very good to keep mold at bay and mold does happen in damp, dark, closed up spaces.

And on the issue of keeping the dark out....WHAT I THINK IS that you guys are hanging around the all day long happy hour someplace.

You can get the kind that is wired with a light for night time. That is what they use up here in the cloudy Pacific Northwest as we only have full sun for about 50 days a year, but even with the overcast the tubes seem to cut the total dark of an interior bathroom. They are on my TV wish list.

Just a thought

I have seen, on HGTV I believe, that you can get the solar tubes with a baffle in them to cut down on the bright light if you want. Or, I guess you could use it to cut down on the dark entering if you wanted.

OK. This is interesting. We have a Gardenia. Front is North. Lani is South. We have a Roman shower. It has a window. Daytime in the shower is close to sunglasses time. We can read in the w/c without a light on. The kitchen is North and gets plenty of light. We have plenty of light throughout the house except the bed rooms but enough to function very well during the day. Light at night, not needed.

What are we missing?
Should I put Solar Tubes in to be in style? After reading this thread I feel deprived.

Maybe you should install a Moon Roof?
