Tubular skylights have become a popular choice for many homeowners. Skylights let 8 times more light into your home than a comparably sized window, so if you're looking to brighten up a room, a skylight will certainly do the trick. Tubular skylights look more like a standard light fixture than an average skylight, as they are typically much smaller. Tubular skylights fit well in bathrooms, hallways, closets or other small rooms that are tucked away in the dark.

Since tubular skylights are lined with a highly reflective interior coating, the sunlight is able to bounce through the metallic tube until it reaches the end where it radiates into your home. Most tubular skylights come with UV inhibitors or diffusers to prevent ultraviolet rays from causing your furniture to fade. Tubular skylights are also more energy efficient than your average skylight, which will save you money on your monthly energy bill.

Tubular skylights are usually relatively easy to install since they do not require any structural modifications. They fit between conventional roof and ceiling framing members and can be installed on nearly any type of roofing material. Installing a tubular skylight should take less than 3 hours whether you choose to do it yourself or you hire a professional.
