Half the amount of Lights for Sky Tubes
Posted by admin on Oct 22, 2007
In our office it’s not too dark with the lights off but if we replace half of the light fittings with sky tubes it would be bright enough. The costs of saving of only having to fit half the light fitting would pay for the Sky Tubes at the point of install, sono waiting years to get your money back.The electric bill would be cut back too with only half the lights been used. We have about 20 x 180 watt light fittings so it’s like boiling a kettle or 2 all day.Replace half of them or more and the savings would be huge.
Sky Tubes for your roof let the sun in to rooms

In the UK, the Skytube is still an unknown technology and I feel if people were shown the advantages and the whole benefits of sky tubes they would be more widely bought.
The building sector industry and companies in it such as Westbridge Homes should be encouraged to make them a standard spec for new houses, then out line the savings and reduction in the owners carbon foot print.
Just buying a house and having an en-suite which is in the centre of the house it has no natural light or windows. The room then relies on electric lights which cost money to run and increase carbon output. I feel that the en-suite would be an perfect room to use a sky tube in as you have to still use an electric light during daylight hours when its bright sunshine outside and you shouldn’t be really using lights when sun light is shining on the roof of the house.
