Q. Can the tubular skylights be mounted on a wall instead of the on the roof?: A. It is not recommended to mount the tubular skylights on a wall (as in, parallel to the ground and perpendicular to the sky) because that will essentially shorten the available light collecting area of the tube, introduce shading into the tube and therefore light throughput will be severely diminished. Also, the installation kit is designed for pitched roofs, not vertical walls.
Q. How do I determine the length of light pipe I need for my installation?: A. To determine the length of pipe you need, measure between the roof deck and the ceiling and add 7". For example, if the distance between the roof deck and ceiling is 22" you'll need 29". The light tube comes standard as 4 feet in length, therefore you wouldn't need an extension.

Tubular Skylight Kits

What are Tubular Skylights?

Tubular Skylights are energy efficient high performance lighting systems that are cylindrical in shape and are designed to light rooms up with natural sunlight. A small clear collector dome on the roof allows sunlight to enter into a highly reflective "light pipe" that extends from the roof level to the ceiling level. The light pipe is coated with a silver finish mirror quality that allows the full spectrum of sunlight to be channeled and dispersed evenly into a room through the means of a diffuser located in the ceiling.

Tubular Skylights are designed not to compromise roof integrity; it minimizes the size of roof penetrations, is weather-tight in design and made to totally eliminate the chance of leaks.

Why Tubular Skylights?

Tubular Skylights are far more efficient than traditional skylights. They install in less than two hours without the need of framework, drywall or painting. Tubular skylights are very energy efficient, with virtually no heat gain or loss associated with the system. UV absorbing materials in the dome and diffuser ensure that there will be no furniture/carpet discoloration. The mirror-like light pipe provides a tremendous amount of light using a relatively small area, thus enabling installation as a possibility invirtually any area. The engineered diffuser spreads the natural light throughout the room, enhancing the true colors of the space. Even with all these advantages, Tubular Skylights are far less expensive than conventional skylights!

The Dome

Examples from 13" Kit The Dome

The dome allows for the sunlight to enter into the light pipe and is exposed to the environment. Our dome is constructed of hi-impact UV stabilized acrylic that is twice as thick as our competitors. Unlike most of the competition our low profile appearance allows the skylight to blend into the surrounding roof structure. Most importantly, our dome is mounted in a stress absorbing seamless aluminum collar, which exerts the pressure caused, by expansion and contraction due to temperature effects evenly over the dome. All our competitors attach their dome directly to the flashing that stresses the dome at the contact points. Dissimilar materials react to temperature effects differently, which causes stress cracks to develop.

The Flashing

The flashing is extremely important, as it is responsible for keeping your roof from leaking. It too is exposed to the harsh effects of the environment on a daily basis. Our flashing is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum with no seams, and its round shape minimizes damage to roof shingles and enables it to withstand the stresses of expansion and contraction due to the temperature variations. Our competitors use cheaper grade galvanized materials or plastic with tack welded or rolled seams. No other manufacturer offers round flashings, which lead to uneven stress being exerted on the structure and eventually, can lead to failure and cause leakage. Our unique forward sloping flashing design eliminates the use of light robbing elbows that the competition uses in almost all applications. However, since the pitched flashing is fixed at about a 4 and 12 pitch, elbows must be used if the roof pitch is 6 and 12 or steeper, or in applications where straight pipe runs are not possible. Our Skylight Kits come with either Flat Flashing for low pitch or flat roofs, or Pitched Flashing for standard pitched roofs. A black powder-coat option for the Pitched Flashing is available for the 10", 13" and 18" kits.

Note: The 21" model only comes with Flat Flashing, Pitched Flashing is not available for this model.

Light Pipe

Manufactured by the leading firm in the industry, our light pipes' optical specifications are the best performing in the industry. Most of the competition uses cheaper grade light pipe, thinner gauge or less reflective. Our light pipe is assembled on site with three securing methods ensuring a tight, dust free seal.

Trim Ring and Diffuser

The trim ring and diffuser assembly is the only piece in the entire kit that the homeowner sees on a daily basis, and it's the only item that the homeowner will ever touch. Our trim ring is constructed of seamless aluminum and is powder coated white in color. All of our competition offers plastic, and many have unsightly plastic tabs that hold the ring in place. Our diffuser easily snaps into place for ease of cleaning, yet it provides a tight seal to ensure no heat loss up the light pipe. It's constructed of hi-impact acrylic, which makes it virtually unbreakable. Our diffuser is designed with a small arc that provides even light distribution without spotlight effects. Our competition offers primarily flat diffusers that are brittle and is not able to spread the light out as far.

Options

Natural Light's bathroom exhaust fan, integrated with a tubular skylight installation. The bathroom is unquestionably one of the most popular rooms for added light. Yet large amounts of warm moisture laden air can be an issue. Natural Light comes to the rescue again with an OPTIONAL integrated skylight exhaust system (sold separately, for the 10" Tubular Light ONLY!). Our Super Vent Fan (SVF) is capable of exhausting 125 CFM, enough to vent a bathroom and shower stall. Natural Light’s ingenious design disguises the intake vent in a sleek trim ring that holds the skylight diffuser. No more ugly vent grates! The vent is then connected to a motor that is remote located in your attic space, making it extremely quiet. Flexible exhaust tubing allows for many venting options including a dual exhaust in your shower stall. The SVF can also accommodate the light kit for evening lighting.

Warranty: 25 years on the Skylight. 5 years on fan (when applicable)

Light kits allow you to mount a lighting fixture inside a light pipe for night time illumination.

There may be instances where a room is either too small or it is otherwise undesirable to have a second light fixture in the ceiling. Natural Light has an ingenious solution! Natural Light can install a tubular skylight in the previous fixture’s ceiling rough out. Then an incandescent or compact fluorescent fixture is mounted inside the light tube and wired to the wall switch. Your Natural Light Tubular Skylight is now ready to serve for evening illumination!

A 45 degree light pipe elbow.

Fully adjustable 45° elbow constructed out of the same material as our Light Pipe. Since the pitched flashing is fixed at about a 4 and 12 pitch, elbows must be used if the roof pitch is 6 and 12 or steeper, or in applications where straight pipe runs are not possible.

Note: Each time light is bent there is a loss of light, therefore, minimal use of elbows is recommended
