Solatube^® 160 DS and 290 DS Daylighting Systems

Bring Every Project to Life

The all new Solatube 160 DS and 290 DS Daylighting Systems set performance standards never seen in the old fashioned Tubular Skylights of yesterday. These new systems feature our patented Raybender® 3000 Technology and LightTracker™ Reflector to deliver an Effective Daylight Capture Surface (EDCS) significantly higher than our previous 250mm and 350mm Solatube models and nearly double the EDCS of other tubular skylight products on the market.

Highly effective and simple to install, these models can transform dark interior applications and light more expansive spaces than was previously possible, creating unique architectural effects & a stunning talking point for your home.

The 160DS & 290DS Daylighting Systems are also the only tubular systems available on the market today that have been awarded the highly regarded 'Energy Star Rating'. So you can rest easy knowing you are not only purchasing the most advantaced natural lighting solution available but the only one that has been designed specifically to minimise solar heat gain & heat loss from your internal space.

These really are the perfect natural lighting solution for any room in the modern New Zealand home.

For fast and easy installation, Solatube® flashings are available for nearly all roof types and pitches. The flashings provide complete protection and create an attractive appearance on the roof.

Accessories

Spectralight® Infinity 0-90 Degree Extension Tube
The 0-90 degree extension tube provides the ability to install around severe obstacles. With three built-in 30 degree angle adapters, this 0-90 degree extension tube gives you the flexibility to install just about anywhere. Using an innovative angle adaptor design, the 0-90 Degree Extension tube provides the superior performance that flexible tubes can't match. (Available in 23" length)

Flashing Insulator
This insulating material helps to reduce flashing condensation in cold climates when the flashing is exposed to a humid interior space. The insulator is affixed to the flashing base and the top tube slips through the opening, which provides a seal between the interior and metal flashing.

Dome Edge Protection Band
For use on Class A, B, or C roofs to maintain fire rating.

Shock Inner Dome
High Velocity Wind Zone areas such as South Florida require the Solatube Shock Inner Dome. This highly impact-resistant inner dome can also be added to any installation for extra protection from extreme forces.

Daylight Dimmer™ Switch
Daylight Dimmer Switch Kit includes DPDT switch, wall plate and 4.5 m/15 ft of cable. Multiple Daylight Dimmers can be controlled by one switch.

Ventilation Booster Motor Kit. Use with Ventilation Add-On Kit when extended duct requires additional air velocity.

Roof Vent Cap for Ventilation Add-On Kit
