Sun tubes, rooflights, skylights and roof lanterns, all have their pros and cons; their ideal uses. For sun tubes in particular, their are benefits which the other natural lighting options simply don’t have.
First of all, you need to understand the benefits of natural lighting. Natural light has a different colour and ambience than electrical lighting, which promotes positive attitude more effectively. We also absorb the majority of our vitamin D through sunlight, so it is also essential for human health.
Sun tubes, while less effective at bringing in natural lighting than the larger alternatives, are still very useful. This is mainly due to their versatility, and the ease with which they can be installed. While other roof window options require costly installations and are only suitable for certain types of roofs, sun tubes can be installed anywhere with minimal space available, with little to no impact on the structural integrity of a roof.
