Tubelite tubular skylight

The Tubelite is a tubular skylight, often called a sun tunnel or light tube. A collector on the roof captures daylight and sends it down a tube to a diffuser in the ceiling, so a hallway, bathroom or walk-in robe gets natural light without a framed skylight or a wall window.

Pick the diameter first: 300, 400 or 500 mm. Then choose the roof kit for your roof, corro, metal deck or tiled. If the tube has to bend around a rafter or duct, add the 1.5 m or 3.0 m flexi kit. For framed skylights, see the full skylight range.

What You Need To Complete The Installation

A tubular skylight needs the correct roof flashing for the roof profile, plus the tube run to the ceiling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a tubular skylight the same as a sun tunnel?

Yes. Tubular skylight, sun tunnel and light tube all describe the same idea: daylight collected on the roof and carried down a tube to the ceiling.

Which roof kit do I need?

The one that matches your roof: corro for corrugated sheet, metal deck for ribbed metal roofs, or tiled for a tile roof.

How does a tubelite skylight work?

A collector on the roof captures daylight and a reflective tube carries it down to a diffuser in the ceiling. The result is natural light in the room below, without the roof opening and framing a full skylight needs.

What diameter do I need?

The skylight is available in 300, 400 and 500mm diameters. A larger diameter lets in more light, so it suits bigger rooms or spaces that need a brighter result. Confirm the room size with the supplier for a recommendation.

What roof profiles does it suit?

The skylight has roof kits for corrugated, tiled and metal-deck roofs. Choose the kit that matches your roof profile so the collector is sealed correctly against the roof.

What is the flexi kit for?

The optional 1.5 metre flexi kit allows the tube to bend around roof obstructions such as beams, ducts or pipes, which lets the skylight be installed where a straight tube run would not fit. It is selected instead of the straight kit.
