We had three solatubes installed in our home in Denton two years ago. Two of these have the light fixtures inside and utilized existing holes in the ceiling. The solatubes really do brighten up the areas where they were installed, even on cloudy days. We don't really have to use artificial lighting in those areas during the day anymore. If they were any brighter I'd have to wear sunglasses indoors. We have had zero problems with our solatubes. The office staff were clear about scheduling appointments for a quote, an installation time, and an alternate time if there were bad weather (it was thunderstorm/tornado season). The person providing the quote and the installer showed up on time as expected. The installation price was exactly the quote we received, and the installer took his time to do the job right ("measure thrice, cut once"...our dogs weren't happy that he was here for so long, but they got over it). Additionally, he was super attentive to keeping the house clean and vacuuming up even the dust created. I have recommended Daylight Rangers to my neighbors who have asked about solatubes.
