Is there a space in your home that never seems to get enough light? We all have them: the dim hallway, the windowless bathroom, or the closet that feels like a cave. You could add more lamps, but artificial light just isn't the same as the beautiful, balanced glow of natural daylight. 

What if you could funnel sunshine into even the most tucked-away corners of your home? With a VELUX Sun Tunnel^® Skylight, you can. It’s an innovative, cost-effective solution for bringing the power of daylight into any room. 

What is a Tubular Skylight?

A tubular skylight, sometimes called a tubular daylighting device (TDD) and what we call a Sun Tunnel, is a clever and efficient way to light up a room. Unlike a traditional skylight, which is essentially a window for your roof, a Sun Tunnel skylight captures sunlight and delivers it to interior spaces through a reflective tube. 

Here’s how it works: 

• A dome or flat glass panel installed on your roof collects daylight from every angle, all day long.
• The light travels through a highly reflective tube. VELUX Sun Tunnel tubes have a silver reflective layer with high reflectivity to ensure maximum sunlight transfer, even on cloudy days. The tube can navigate around attic obstructions and can run up to 30 feet to bring light to lower floors.
• At the ceiling level, a diffuser spreads the natural light evenly throughout the space, creating a soft, welcoming glow. 

This simple, brilliant design makes it possible to brighten rooms where a traditional skylight or window isn't feasible, as well as provide balanced natural light in larger spaces.
