We Beat All Big Box Stores and all Competitors | Visit Our Showroom By Appointment Dear Jim: I want more natural light indoors to reduce electric usage for light- ing. Also, I see better in natural light. I thought a tubular skylight would be the eas- iest to install myself. Does this make sense? — Jen H. Dear Jen: Even though a tubular sky- light does penetrate the attic insulation envelop, installing one or two can cut your electric bills overall. As you mentioned, many people, especially as they age, can see better under natural light and it creates a nice ambience indoors. Of the two basic skylight options, stan- dard rectangular or tubular, a tubular one is more energy-efficient. Since it creates a smaller hole in the insulated ceiling, less heat is lost during winter or gained during summer. Weatherstripping on the top and bottom eliminate air leakage. The amount of light that comes in from a small tubular skylight is quite amazing. I installed a 10-inch diameter one in my garage. I can easily work on my car in there without any additional electric lights on. If there is a full moon at night, enough light comes through it so I can walk safely in there. To get a rough idea of how much light output there is from a tubular skylight, fig- ure on the equivalent brightness of three 100-watt incandescent light bulbs from a 10- inch diameter tube. A 14-inch diameter one provides about twice as much light. A tubular skylight is pretty much like it sounds. It is a sheet metal tube which extends from a hole in the room ceiling up through the roof. The top is covered with a clear plastic dome and the bottom is cov- ered by a clear light diffuser. It looks simi- lar to a sealed recess light from indoors. The inside surface of the tube is highly reflective. The sunlight that enters the top dome reflects back and forth in the tube until Seeing the light through tubular setup JAMES DULLEY See Dulley/Page 6
