pA solar tube, also called a sun tunnel, is a great way to get daylight into a dark space. They’re also easier to install than full-blown skylights and easier to leak-proof; the light-gathering dome up at the top has a pretty tidy footprint. But until recently, not much thought has gone into the bottom end, which is typically rendered into a mere porthole./p

pRoss Lovegrove’s new A HREF=”http://www.velux-italia.com/tunnelsolare/” sun tunnel design/A for Italian manufacturere Velux adds some much-needed design, incorporating a hanging, blob-like reflector that bounces the light back against the ceiling, multiplying the sunshine effect. /p

pSure it kinda looks like an old iMac hanging from the ceiling, you can’t beat the utility cost!/p
