Sun tunnel is the branded name most homeowners search for the same tubular daylighting device sold generically as a solar tube, and the installation approach is nearly identical: a reflective tube runs from a roof-mounted dome down through the attic to a ceiling diffuser.

A standard-diameter tunnel puts out roughly the equivalent of one or two bright light bulbs' worth of daylight on a sunny day, more than enough to light a bathroom, closet, or hallway without a fixture running. Output drops on overcast days but rarely to the point of needing the light switch.
