All About Sun Tunnel Tubular Skylights
"Live lighter"
with this cost-effective, energy-efficient,
skylight option from VELUX
Sun Tunnel Tubular Skylights
(also known as Sun Tubes. Tube Skylights or Solar Tubes)
Where traditional windows and skylights are not an option, adding a Sun Tunnel skylight can be a cost-effective way to bring more natural light into the heart of your home.
Sun Tunnels are a lot easier to install than you might think. In about 90 minutes, The Skylight Guys will simply cut a hole into the roof from outside your home, and another hole in your ceiling from inside; a flexible or rigid reflective tunnel will then be inserted to connect the holes. The tunnel is highly reflective, so bright, clear sunlight streams into the room below. And Sun Tunnels are super-efficient, as they cost nothing to operate, you’ll have light as long as the sun’s in the sky (and, if you add the optional night-light kit, you’ll have light at night, too), A new VELUX Sun Tunnel can be installed for as little as $550 after solar tax credits.
Read on to see how a VELUX Sun Tunnel skylight can transform any interior space in your home.
Bright & Beaming Kitchen
VELUX Sun Tunnel skylights provide natural task lighting in the center of this kitchen,
illuminating the island and workspace.
And when the sun goes down, VELUX now offers a solar-powered night light that will illuminate the area beneath the Sun Tunnel. Designed to discreetly fit inside your VELUX Rigid Sun Tunnel skylight, the VELUX Solar Night Light provides your space with a soft, soothing light from above when natural light isn’t available.

Help For Narrow Hallways
Interior spaces and passageways can feel closed in without the benefit of natural light. But this slender space feels open and welcoming, thanks to an abundance of natural light from above, white walls, ceiling, and floor, and oversized, colorful artwork.
Sunlit Stairwell
Hallways and stairwells are often afterthoughts in home design, but they offer a unique opportunity to become interesting focal points. VELUX skylights are optimal for catching light from all angles, and paired with a VELUX Sun Tunnel skylight in the darker alcove, they create a sense of airiness and space.
