Those Solutubes really bring in the light if you want some sunshine. If it's sunny it can look like you have an actual sun on your ceiling. Some people like them, some don't. We had three in a house once quite some time ago. I think the newer models are better but I think I would go for a skylight given the same circumstances again ... and if I could afford it, of course. Although that makes a bigger hole in the roof, the lightening seems more natural and you get to see the sky. Just my opinion but if you ever decide on Solutubes, you should go see one where it is installed in a house.
