With a circular, compact design, tubelights can brighten up even the smallest spaces. They provide homes with all the natural light and ambience of a regular skylight, without extensive costs or a lengthy installation process.

Their small size makes them ideal lighting solutions for enclosed spaces like hallways and ensuite bathrooms. At Natural Lighting Products, we’re experts in finding the perfect tubelight for your needs, with products available for metal deck, corrugated and tiled roofs.

In this blog, we’ll explore the transformative power of tubelights and what you need to consider before installing one.

How Do Tubelights Work?

A tubelight is designed to capture and distribute light evenly within interior spaces. Its dome shape harnesses sunlight on your roof, directing it down a highly reflective metal tube, which delivers it into your interiors. Tubelights include ceiling fixtures that diffuse the sunlight, providing rooms with a bright glow all day long.

Benefits

Enhanced Natural Light

Tubelights can provide natural light to spaces where traditional skylights are not feasible. They can make bathrooms, hallways, wardrobes and basements feel brighter and more open. Their ability to capture sunlight from various angles and transport it inside helps homes remain illuminated during periods of low light or overcast days.

Energy Efficiency

Tubelights let you harness the power of natural light and abundant solar energy, reducing your reliance on artificial lighting. This lowers your energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Installing tubelights is an excellent opportunity to reduce your carbon footprint and help build a more sustainable future.

Health Benefits

Exposure to natural light improves mood, concentration and productivity. Tubelights also improve sleep quality by regulating your circadian rhythm, helping you remain alert during the day and ready to unwind at night.

At NLP, our tubelight range is fitted with UV filters to block the harmful impact of UV rays. This feature protects your health and prevents your furnishings and floors from fading.

Thermal Performance

The reflective shaft in tubelights minimises heat transfer, helping maintain a room’s temperature. This process ensures your home stays cool during warmer months and retains heat in the colder months.

With a double-glazed ceiling diffuser, tubelights achieve better thermal performance than standard acrylic skylights. Our tubelight range includes both acrylic dome and glass-top tubelights to suit different types of homes.

What To Consider Before Installation

Roof Type

Different types of roofs and materials require different types of tubelights. Your roof’s orientation should be considered to help determine the best spot for installation. At NLP, our installation team is experts in working with various roof types, including metal deck, corrugated and tiled.

Size

Larger tubelights are more effective in open-plan areas, where smaller tubelights are suitable for enclosed spaces. Our pre-made tubelights are available in 300mm, 400mm and 500mm diameters.

Aesthetic Style

Consider how a tubelight’s design, especially its diffuser and the surrounding ceiling, will impact its appearance in your home. You should ensure that your chosen design complements the overall style of your interiors.

Custom Natural Lighting Solutions

If our pre-made tubelight options don’t suit your needs, customised designs at Natural Lighting Products can help elevate your property with ease. Our custom tubelights are suitable for single-storey and double-storey properties and can seamlessly reflect the aesthetic of your space.
