Solar LightBlaster Tubular Skylight for Houses

The Solar LightBlaster for Houses is a low profile tubular skylight, also called a solar tube or sun tunnel, that is a great source of natural sunlight into your home. This version is for homes with asphalt shingled roofs. Save electricity and let the sun shine and illuminate dark places inside your home during the daylight hours.

Do you have a laundry room or bathroom that could use some natural light since they often do not have windows in them? Natural light improves moods, reduces stress, and improves performance and learning. Use natural light to bring a calm and productive environment into your home, work place, or school.

NOTE: Only recommended for standard attic heights of 40-42" (measuring roof to ceiling line + 6" for flashing height) and asphalt shingle roofs with 3/12 to 6/12 pitch. If you do not know the pitch of your roof, there are apps for smart devices that will help you determine your roof's pitch. Search for "roof pitch" in your phone's app store.

NOTE: We offer even larger tubular skylights under our Warehouse products but they can also be used on houses and other structures. They only come in the flat roof flashing style but will still work if you want even more light for a garage or large room. You would need to call us to discuss your options. We do have extra extension tubes for all of our house and warehouse tubular skylights if needed. Call us to order them if you need them before they are added to our website.
