  • Yeah, holy cow that light scallop is HUGE! and draws the eye instantly.

  • Install looked great. One thing about WHERE you put any light. That big shiny circle you see on the wall at the end, it's called a light scallop. They are a no no and really show on cabinets and certain tile walls etc... My opinion solar tube should be center room. I kept walking by a bathroom at this one job and kept trying to turn off the light. No light was on, just the solar tube in the middle of the bath. Lit up the whole room!

  • can you get this in the uk

  • Are there any Solatube distributor in Asia?

  • FYI. This "D-Lite" distributor is not approved by Solatube International and any alteration made with "D-Lite" products to a Solatube Daylighting will void the warranty.

  • Become a D-Lite Distributor and Increase your Tube Sales! D-Lite Distributors install More Tubes in More Homes!

    Email us for more information! admin@d-liteco.com

Have you seen this yet in daylighting products?

  • SOLATUBE IS THE ORIGINAL SKYLIGHT,
