Babies love Solatubes, too.
This is why we don't do skylights anymore. They typically collect debri on the horizontal surface which leads to deterioration of the flashing and seals. Eventually they all leak. Solatubes have found flashing similar to your plumbing vent pipes through the roof so this doesn't happen.
Skylights also heat up the space below, the glazing often deteriorates, and they let in UVA & UVB rays which fade furniture and floor coverings. Most of them are not hurricane rated so there's a vulnerability to wind born debris damage to the home during hurricanes.
Small dome, lots of light. Our domes come with an inner impact resistant shock dome for hurricane protection. They are the only tubular skylight that is Miami-Dade county approved.
This is an old Velux sun tunnel that we replaced. The dome is made from an inferior material and is not hurricane impact rated. Our Solatubes are hurricane impact rated and made from the highest quality materials for long term durability. The Solatube interior tube coatings are far superior as well. The Solatube delivered about 70% more daylight into the living room.
I don't know what brand this model is but it sure is bad. Poor flashing, soft and vulnerable dome, deteriorating tube coatings. Not much light was coming out of it in the kitchen. We replaced it with a Solatube and made a world of difference inside.
This is the interior diffuser of a Velux sun tunnel. As you can see there are dead bugs inside which are a result of light leaks in the tube connections inside the attic space which attracts bugs. Solatubes are sealed tube units which avoid this type of problem.
