Dome Diffuser
Tube Skylights – Guaranteed To Light Up Your Life!
Energy efficient roof windows can enhance the energy efficiency of the office, home or warehouse as the requirement for light bulbs that work on electricity reduces. A choice that is even better is the energy efficient tube skylights. The design of tube skylights is such that they take sunlight reflecting it via a tube. Then it is thrown out through the diffuser into the warehouse complex or office.
The design of the tube skylights has many advantages as compared to the electricity driven light bulbs, be they fluorescent types or the normal incandescent ones. You must be aware that the traditional light bulbs create heat which adds to the load of the air conditioning, so even if you are getting free light the extra cooling load would have to be subtracted.
The advantage of tube skylights is that they give 100% of visible spectrum of light. This is what is needed for the Acadian rhythm. Also sunlight helps to improve trueness of the colors that we see reducing strain on the eyes. Tube skylights that are large produce wattage of 1000 – 1400 W of light. So, this can replace a number of bulbs at the same cost as the price of a light fixture that is high end. A 10” tube skylight would provide equivalent of nearly 3 100 W bulbs in the house.
If you are planning to go for skylights for bathrooms, kitchens, drawing rooms or any room for that matter you will be pleased to know that the installation process usually takes a couple of hours. If you want best results go for a type that needs no elbows as that would lower the light reflectivity of the unit.
Choose one having compensation system, collars that contract and expand, attaching the tube and dome while a diffuser that is slightly domed would throw light farther in the room. 96% reflectivity or more is good. You should look for rating of Energy Star on skylights for bathrooms or whichever room it is that you want to install them. If you reside in hurricane prone area, go for skylights that are hurricane rated.
The installation of full size roof windows can be very complicated as large holes have to be cut. Then the skylights for bathrooms or drawing rooms have to be installed. The chase has to be framed. The painting and insulation needs to be done. This is why tube skylights have taken the market by storm. For just $250 they can be installed in the existing attics. They can be bought at the Home supply shops in the locality. You can install them on your own with basic tools and limited skills.
Tube skylights consist of domes that are fitted on the roofs. Tubes with mirror finish are attached inside attics. They transfer light to diffusers installed in ceilings. This is how large amounts of natural lighting are transferred. You will have to cut a circular hole in the roof to install the cover that has dome shape and flash it properly to prevent intrusion of water. You will have to work in the attic as well to install a light cover and tube in the roof. If you are able to carry out these things comfortably the work could be completed in a day if you want to do it yourself.
Whether you are looking for skylights for bathrooms or other rooms in the house, choose the products wisely so that the tube skylights would last you a very long time. You will be able to enjoy years of energy savings and natural daylight for nearly the cost of a premium light fixture.
