Solar Tubes Make Great Lighting Alternative


Solar Tubes are a great way to harvest sunlight for indoor lighting.

They produce more light than a simple skylight does. By collecting and then magnifying sunlight using a mirrored tube, the system then uses a multi-faceted lens to diffuse the light through out the room. The system uses zero electricity and provides an amazing amount of light, even on a cloudy day.

A local business, Caldwell Toyota, which recently built a LEED certified retail store uses solar tubes manufactured by Solatube through out the building to reduce it's lighting costs and energy usage.

If you are building a new house or business, or simply remodeling to increase your homes efficiency, you would be well rewarded by this simple, sustainable technology.
