Taking the concept of using the sun's rays for light a step beyond simple skylights, Solatube gives you the ability to light interior spaces that aren't directly connected to the outdoors. Places like dark closets, dimly lit bathrooms or windowless room, and basement apartments are can enjoy the benefits of receiving natural light. So, how does it work? Sunlight is transported through a highly-reflected tube, essentially "piping" in light that helps brighten up interiors with minimal energy loss (and lots less than windows). As an added bonus of sorts, the dome-shaped lens is able to take in light at any time of day, so it doesn't require direct sunlight to entice light into the darkest corners.
