10" & 14" Solatubes
The 10" and 14" Solatubes are ideal for a variety of residential applications and suitable for smaller commercial areas.
The Solatube Advantage
Solatube’s revolutionary, award-winning skylights set the standard. No others work as brilliantly, efficiently, or reliably. Our dedication to the utmost quality, design and manufacturing makes the difference.
- Light Intercepting Transfer Device (LITD®) increases the surface area available to intercept directional sunlight not in the direct path of the tube opening, then transfers the light down the tubing. The result is increased light input and increased light output.
- Raybender® Technology intercepts light that is in the direct path and redirects it down the tube at a steeper angle so less light is lost in transfer absorption.
 Spectralight® Infinity proprietary super-reflective tubing provides maximum light transfer.
 Seamless Flashings are fabricated as a single, seamless piece to ensure leak proof performance.
- Quick and Easy Installation without structural reframing, mess, or hassle. New preassembled kits make installation even faster and easier.
- Compact and Adjustable Tubing fits between roof rafters and around attic obstructions. Each Solatube kit features two standard angle adapters to allow placement virtually anywhere.
- Energy-Efficient, sealed design works like a dual glazed window minimizing heat loss or gain between interior and outdoor environments.
- Excellent Color Rendition makes rooms and their contents appear in their true color. Solatube’s Color Rendering Index is approximately 100.
- Choice of Diffuser Technologies designed to be highly effective at diffusing the bright light transferred through the tubing.
- Ten Year Product Warranty

Solatube Performance |
|
| To determine an initial estimate of Solatube products required to daylight a space, use the relative light output specifications for the Solatube products as compared to the light output of the electrical lighting fixtures used in the space being daylit. |

Relative Light Output
(lumens) |
Electric Lamp
and Fixture |
14" Solatube (a)
(Brighten Up Series) |
6,000 Avg. Lumens (b) Up to 9,100 |
Approximately equal to usable light output of 1 fixture using (3) F032T8 fluorescent lamps. (d) |
10" Solatube (a)
(Brighten Up Series)
|
3,000 Avg. Lumens (b) Up to 4,600 |
Approximately equal to (3) 18W quad-tube compact fluorescent lamps. (d) |
| a. Solatube relative light output based upon 30" tube run for the 21" Open Ceiling SolaMaster product. Maximum and average values achieved over the peak 2,400 annual daylight hours for San Diego, California TMY2 Weather Data.
b. Solatube relative light output based upon 6' tube run for 10" & 14" Brighten Up and 21" Suspended Ceiling SolaMaster products. Maximum and average values achieved over the peak 2,400 annual daylight hours for San Diego, California TMY2 Weather Data
c. Assuming a typical high-bay fixture efficiency of 90% and a mean lamp lumen output of 25,000 lumens.
d. Assuming a typical loss factor of 0.75, excluding additional efficiency losses. |
