What Rooms In Your Home Can Best Be Lit By Solar Light Tubes?

Solar light tubes are a surprisingly affordable way to brighten your home during the day

. They don't cost much to buy or install, and the light from them is free. The diffuse light they provide looks great in many rooms in your home.

Bathroom

That's right, no room is too small for a solar light tube. The great part about installing one in your bathroom is that you get natural light without any loss of privacy. The tube does not add much heat even to small rooms.

Kitchens

Your kitchen will look even brighter with light from a solar tube. Natural light is very pleasant to look at, and doesn't add odd tones to the food you've prepared.

Home Office

There's a balance to be had in lighting your home office. You want it well lit, but without glare on your computer monitor.

Windows can do a fair job of this, but depending on the orientation of your setup you may have glare from them at certain times of the day or be facing direct sunlight as you work.

Solar tube lighting doesn't have this problem. The tube diffuses the light, which is much kinder to your eyes and the appearance of your computer monitor.

Living Room and Family Room

The living room and family room are frequently used rooms in most homes. They also have a relatively large area to light. This is great for installing a couple of nicely spaced tube lights.

Larger rooms like this can have the larger diameter tubes installed and still look good. Larger diameters will give you more light and brighten these rooms nicely.

Laundry Room

Your laundry room certainly uses enough electricity on its own. Installing natural lighting is one way you can save power in your laundry room. You'll be able to see what you're doing clearly without turning on a light during the day.

As electricity costs increase through the years, you will find your investment in natural lighting sources to be well worth the time and money. They allow a good amount of light in, while adding less heat to a room than the old skylights would. They cost far less than solar panels but help you to cut down a part of your power bill. Just take a look and see if these are right for your home.

Not Bedrooms

Most people won't want a solar tube light in their bedroom. At certain times of the year the sun may come up too early or set too late for comfort. The light coming in through the windows is enough for most bedrooms during the day.

It's not impossible to enjoy a tube light in your bedroom, but you need to be very certain that it won't bother you to have the light coming in through it. That's something too many people would simply rather not have, and so I would recommend against installing one in the bedroom.
