The Solatube range of tubular daylight systems is explained in a 16-page brochure from Solalighting. These daylight systems use a Fresnel lens on the roof to maximise the amount of light collected and passed down reflective tubing that loses only 0.3% of the light on each reflection.

They are also available with an integral ventilation kit and electric lighting.
