Solatube Daylighting
Solatube Daylighting System
NEW for 2013: eChoice Solatube Qualifies for the 10% Federal tax credit. Accessories not part of tax credit.
The Solatube is a tubular skylight available in 10″ & 14″ inch diameter that uses Spectralight Infinity tubing which provides 99.7% reflectivity (the most reflective tubing used in Tubular Daylighting Devices) and the purest color rendition possible! Other tubular skylight light brands will have more of a bluish light tint color where the Solatube light output will be more of a pure white light.
Solatube has a LightTracker Reflector that is mounted inside the dome and directs low-angle light down the tube and into your living area. If there is day light outside, the Solatube will provide light inside your home.
Standard & eChoice Model
There are 2 different models of the Solatube Daylighting System which are the standard and eChoice model.
The DS160e & DS290e are the eChoice models. The eChoice model in Maryland area helps to minimize the amount of heat loss during the winter months. The eChoice add-on piece is 2-piece clear plexiglass piece that is inserted into the bottom of the Solatube and turned sideways to minimize heating loss thru the tube.
