Solar tubes
 
Solar Guys did mine, Kitchen counter , guest bath , and laundry room, they are FABULOUS.........
You can shave without turning on a light, I'm thinking seriously about putting one over my work bench.....should I ever need it..:22yikes:.

A brighter Fumar.

We had two solar tubes installed on Wednesday, in kitchen and master bath. Less than two hours start to finish. Work by the Solar Guys. Best investment we have made at this point. Extremely pleased to say the least. We have to remind ourselves that we did not leave the light on the master bath!!

Solar Tubes
 
The Solar Guys---call them and never look back. After a year with a bright kitchen instead of having to turn on the light all the time...HIGHLY RECOMMEND SOLAR TUBES!

We just purchased a Lantana - our lanai faces west - just curious as to the size and placement you chose for the solar tubes. Thanks! Lark

we have a brand new Iris, got a 14 inch solar tube in the kitchen and LOVE it. Solar Guys were great. took days before we stoped trying to turn off the lights. We are going to get more put in.

We do not have our design meeting until the spring. I was just asking Shalomuall about the one that they installed in their kitchen. We will be building a Begonia and are thinking of putting some in our house.
I am getting so excited reading about all the fun everyone is having building their houses it is getting harder and harder to wait until spring!
Time seems to be dragging up here with the wet, cold, gray, days. :cold:
