Sun Tunnel Installation in Bergen County, NJ — VELUX Tubular Skylights
Sun tunnels (also called tubular skylights or "Solatubes") bring natural daylight into rooms that can't have a traditional skylight: hallways, bathrooms, closets, and any room with no exterior wall or roof access from the ceiling. Daylight Design installs VELUX SUN TUNNEL units throughout Bergen County, NJ.
A sun tunnel uses a reflective rigid or flexible tube to channel daylight from a small roof dome down to a ceiling diffuser. Most installs are completed in 3-5 hours with minimal interior disruption. They're significantly less expensive than a full skylight, and the solar-powered nightlight option qualifies for the 30% federal tax credit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a sun tunnel skylight?
- A sun tunnel (also called tubular skylight or light tube) is a reflective tube that captures sunlight on the roof and channels it through your attic to illuminate interior spaces. It provides natural daylight without the size and cost of traditional skylights.
- Where can sun tunnels be installed?
- Sun tunnels are ideal for hallways, closets, bathrooms, pantries, and any interior space that lacks natural light. They work especially well where traditional skylights aren't practical due to attic obstructions or room layout.
- How much light does a sun tunnel provide?
- VELUX sun tunnels provide equivalent light to a 300-500 watt bulb on sunny days, and still provide useful natural light on cloudy days. The highly reflective tube maximizes light transmission.
- What's the difference between rigid and flexible sun tunnels?
- Rigid tubes provide maximum light output and are used for straight runs. Flexible tubes can navigate around attic obstructions and are ideal for complex routing. We recommend the best option based on your specific installation.
- How long does sun tunnel installation take?
- Most sun tunnel installations are completed in 3-5 hours. The process is much faster than traditional skylight installation with minimal disruption to your home.
