Sun Tunnels for Old Enfield homes, done by vetted Austin-area
crews. 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. Sun tunnel installation is a strong fit for interior rooms with no wall space for a window and no direct roof access for a full skylight, powder rooms, walk-in closets, and interior hallways especially.

Historic-district neighborhoods rarely require special review for a low-profile tunnel dome, since it reads as a smaller roof feature than a full skylight.
