A tubular skylight is like a conventional roof skylight that allows daylight into a dark area. And thanks to its small size, the light is especially useful in a tight space such as a narrow hallway where a larger roof unit may not be practical.
A tubular skylight is installed much the same way as a roof skylight is, but the job is easier. The unit is made up of a ceiling ring, an adjustable tube, roof flashing and a lens dome, the size being determined by how much light is needed. The type of roof and its pitch determines the type of flashing needed.
