Enhancing your space with Solatube Skylights

Solatube skylights and the power of colour rendition 

In design-focused industries, from show homes to art studios, understanding the role of lighting and how it impacts colour is essential. Solatube skylights are not only a practical solution for bringing natural light into spaces but are also a game-changer for professionals who work with colours daily, such as interior designers, painters, and artists. With Solatube, you can ensure your space is bathed in beautiful, natural light that enhances the true essence of every colour. 

A perfect balance of functionality and style 

Solatube skylights are more than just functional – they’re a stylish addition to any interior. Their sleek, modern diffuser options complements a wide variety of aesthetics, and will fit into any aesthetic with ease. The ability to choose from different diffuser options allows you to tailor the light to the needs of the space, whether it’s for a neutral, soft ambiance or a brighter, more vibrant atmosphere. For designers, this flexibility ensures that your lighting choices enhance your design vision rather than detract from it.

Preserving colour fidelity 

For professionals who work with colour, accuracy is everything. Solatube skylights excel at maintaining the true colour appearance of objects, fabrics, and materials over time. This colour fidelity is crucial, as natural light from Solatube ensures that the items in your space are seen in their truest form. This is particularly important for show homes, studios, or galleries, where the way colours are perceived can make or break.  

The Solatube DS Raybender® 3000 dome technology, captures the optimal amount of natural light throughout the day. From capturing those early morning or afternoon rays of daylight to controlling harsh sunlight during the peak of the day. Solatube ensures your space is filled with a consistent, balanced light throughout the day. 

At Solatube, we’ve cracked the code of light reflection. It's not just about bouncing; it's about how it bounces. And here’s where Solatube stands out: the Spectralight® Infinity Tubing boasts over 99% Specular Reflectance for visible light. Translation? It’s a champion at holding onto light. A typical tubing material with 97% reflectivity, like Enhanced Silver, loses a staggering 45.62% of light after 20 bounces. In contrast, Solatube’s DS range, featuring Spectralight® Infinity with 99.7% reflectivity, only loses 5.83% after the same 20 bounces. The difference of only 2% in tube reflectivity is mind blowing. 

What’s more, Solatube DS isn’t just making bold claims. Independent testing over the past two decades has consistently shown that its reflectance holds strong. This proven performance is what sets Solatube apart, delivering long-lasting brightness and clarity. 

Unlike other skylights that may cause fading or discolouration due to unregulated sunlight exposure, Solatube has perfected the science of controlling the light entering your space. The advanced technology in Solatube’s Raybender® 3000 dome captures optimal sunlight - filters out the harsh midday sun and captures the early morning rays and low light angles, while filtering out harmful UV rays that can damage your furniture, fabrics, and artwork over time. 

Why colour rendition matters to designers, artists, and painters 

For painters and designers, natural light is an invaluable tool for working with colours. A well-lit space not only boosts creativity but also ensures that the colours used in your work are represented accurately. Solatube’s skylights are designed to bring in optimal natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting that may distort colours. Whether it’s a painter assessing shades on a canvas or an interior designer choosing the perfect hue for a living room, Solatube’s consistent natural lighting ensures that you always see colours in their truest form. 

For show homes or art studios, where presentation is key, Solatube’s ability to maintain consistent lighting – when the sun is out - allows for an enhanced viewing experience. The soft yet vibrant natural light brings out the best in every corner of a room, making it easier for prospective buyers, clients, or gallery visitors to appreciate the space and its natural details. 

A bright future for your space 

Solatube skylights offer more than just natural light – they bring with them a host of benefits for those who work with colour and design. With options to fit any style, Solatube ensures that you have the right balance of form and function. Most importantly, the technology behind Solatube skylights guarantees that the colours in your space remain true, vibrant, and protected over time. Solatube’s tubing material, made from Spectralight® Infinity, is engineered with the most reflective material in the world, boasting a reflectivity rate of up to 99.7%. This advanced material is what truly sets Solatube apart from competitors. By using such highly reflective tubing, Solatube skylights can channel and direct the maximum amount of daylight into interiors while maintaining the purity and intensity of the light.  

For designers, artists, and anyone in the creative field, Solatube is an investment in the integrity of your work and the beauty of your space. Solatube allows natural light to show off your beautiful designs and vision. If you’re looking to get a tubular skylight installed, make sure to ask what the tube reflectivity is before you invest, the difference of just 2% is night and day!
