Solar? Not Dim at All
ODL's Energy Star-qualified Tubular Skylights, now with the Solar Powered Dimmer, are ideal for any room in the home where light is limited. Traditional skylights can result in “hot spots”—not so with these tubular models. They also feature the company's patented Solar Lens Dome, which gathers sunlight even during low-light hours. The two-piece kit makes installation a snap. Booth N1015 For more info, go to HousingZone.com/PBinfo and enter # 281
