Hello,

has anyone here had experience with daylight spotlights and/or Solatube systems?

The technology looks quite interesting. According to some online research, Solatube products are said to bring more light into a room than daylight spotlights, for example those from Velux. However, these are just reports I found in other forums, not firsthand experiences.

Has anyone installed a Velux system like this or can provide recommendations and/or reference projects in the Cologne/Bonn area?

Background information for me:
The hallway on the upper floor has no window for natural light. A Solatube system could brighten this approximately 16m² (170 sq ft) hallway. There would be about a 2-meter (6.5 ft) distance between the ceiling and the gable (length of the light tube).

Thank you very much for your help and best regards

Martin

Unfortunately, I can’t help with this, but I find these systems (which I am hearing about for the first time here) very interesting. How much does a Solatube cost?
