Room Brite sells and installs 2 HR Skylights. Architects would call them "tubular daylighting devices" (TDDs). The average 'Joe' on the street would call them tubular skylights. This Joe likes to call them 2 HR Skylights because they can be installed in as little as 2 hours.
I fell in love with 2 Hr Skylights a couple of years ago. One of my customers asked me to install a traditional skylight in their dark living room. The usual thoughts started rolling through my mind, heat, cobwebs, leakage, 2 days of mess, etc.
So I told them the best solution for them would be a tubular skylight. It would be smaller, look better, stay dust and cobweb free, wouldn't leak, and would be maintenance free. Also, no chance for a peeping Tom to be staring from above :) In fact, it dawned on me that TDDs are one of the best-kept untold secrets in home lighting solutions.
After being indoors for a long time, man-made lighting can be tiring to the eyes and subdue the emotions. Several light bulb makers have tried to come up with light bulbs that copy the benefits of sunlight. But they come up short and use electricity.
Solatube International has come up with an energy efficient product that solves this problem using natural light. The effect is quite awesome. Click on the following video to see for yourself:
