My brother & SIL has one in their kitchen, and one in the upstairs bathroom.
Every time I use the restroom I try to turn on the lights.
Wish I could install them in my place, but sadly I live in a rented condo.

My place came with them already installed. I got used to my old mother telling me to turn off the light all of the time. They don"t heat up the room like a conservatory does and they are quite tolerable and very common in our country, as hot as it is.

We purchase the Solatube and had it installed by the manufacturer, love it. We had a 14" one put in my sewing room with the prisim lense, it adds even more light. They were afraid it would be too much light but is perfect for my sewing room. At first we were constantly trying to turn the lights off, because it is so bright in there. We also had a smaller 10" with regular lense put in our master sitting area and our bathroom that did not have a window, I would totally recommend them. Not a huge difference with the heat but some with the prism lense.

Wish I could. I can't even have a ceiling light or fan. As stupid as it sounds, we have electric radiant heat in the ceiling, in a rancher. Not like it's even a 2 story house. Guess it was something they thought was a good idea in the 50's.lol Would love to have something like that.

Just wondering how the solartubes do at night. Do you not need a nightlight in the bathroom at night then? I think this might be a good idea for your bathroom. The only room in the house without ceiling heat.
