Don't forget Solatubes ain't just tubes. I don't remember if the optics
are at top or bottom, but they pump a lot more light than a simple 12"
pipe would.


Top, I say.

A local fire captain built his house several years ago. He put in 3
Solatubes. Amazing in a long hall, it brought in the light so bright.

He had one in the master BR closet. At least twice I walked out and
found myself trying to find the light switch...laughed at myself.

Even he experienced the brightness ..
