Despite the multiple benefits of tube lights over traditional skylights, there was always one major flaw preventing many homeowners from choosing light tunnels - the impact on their homes exterior attractiveness.

Tube lights have formerly been designed with a “bubble dome” as the light catcher on the roof. Unfortunately, these domed tube lights had a drastic, negative impact on a home’s curb appeal. The bubbles on the roof were an eyesore. For this reason, many homeowners would only install tube lights where they would not be visible from the street side of the home. However, the new Skylight Tube from U.S. Sunlight is a low-profile, square-shaped dome that blends in with a roof as well as any traditional skylight, now allowing a homeowner to have the best of both worlds.
