Sun Tunnels: Light Where a Skylight Can't Go

Not every dark room can take a full skylight — hallways, closets, and baths often have attic or framing in the way. A sun tunnel threads daylight down through a reflective tube from the roof to a ceiling diffuser that looks like a recessed light. It's brighter than you'd believe, costs a fraction of a skylight, and installs in an afternoon.

  • Daylight for rooms with no skylight access
  • Looks like a recessed light, but it's the sun
  • A fraction of the cost of a skylight
  • Installed in an afternoon, leak-free
Reviews

San Diego Homeowners on Lumen

Our La Jolla living room was a cave until Lumen put in two ridge skylights. Now it's flooded with natural light all day and we barely turn a lamp on before sunset. Clean install, zero leaks through the winter rains, and they matched the ceiling perfectly. Transformative.
Claire BennettHomeowner, La Jolla
We wanted light in a dark hallway with no roof access for a full skylight, so Lumen installed sun tunnels instead. It looks like a recessed light but it's pure daylight — genius. Fast, tidy, and half the cost we expected.
Miguel TorresHomeowner, Encinitas
Our old skylights leaked every rainy season. Lumen replaced them with modern low-E glass units, re-flashed everything properly, and it's been bone dry since. They actually understand the roof, not just the glass. Highly recommend.

Questions

Skylight FAQs

Don't skylights always leak eventually?

Only badly installed ones. A skylight leaks because of poor flashing and curb work, not the glass. We're roofers first and factory-certified installers, so we flash every unit watertight and back it with a leak-free guarantee. Done right, a modern skylight stays dry for decades.

What's a sun tunnel and when should I get one instead?

A sun tunnel threads daylight from the roof through a reflective tube to a ceiling diffuser that looks like a recessed light. It's perfect for hallways, closets, and baths where attic framing blocks a full skylight — brighter than you'd expect, and a fraction of the cost.

Will a skylight make my home hotter in the San Diego sun?

Not with the right glass. We install low-E and tinted glass and place skylights to maximize light while minimizing heat gain. You get the daylight without turning the room into a greenhouse.

Can you replace my old, foggy skylights?

Absolutely — replacement is one of the most common things we do. We swap dated or leaking units for modern low-E glass, re-flash the opening properly, and leave you with a leak-free, energy-efficient skylight.

How long does a skylight installation take?

Most installs are done in a single day, including cutting in, flashing, and finishing the ceiling. Sun tunnels are often just an afternoon. We'll give you an exact timeline with your quote.
