Light Pipe

Doonhamer

Can anyone recommend a good one? There seem to be a few companies selling them. I want one for an inner hall in a bungalow which has a glass door at one end but is quite dark at the other. Hall is 1.2m by 5m and the position where I would like to put the pipe is almost directly under the roof ridge so I probably need about 4m of pipe.

Any recommendations on a good manufacturer and the diameter or number of pipes would be greatly appreciated.

I know it's not the cheapest option short term because I coud go for an energy saving light and leave it on all the time, but I'd rather get the light pipe.

and old thread that nobody replied to... but I just came across these when googling so thought I'd flag them up: http://www.sunpipeshop.co.uk/steps.asp and http://www.monodraught.com/index.php

I'm not associated with these guys in any way. You can do an online quote to see how much it would cost. As with many energy saving systems, you're looking at a large upfront cost, but over years it will pay for itself.

They have combination lightpipes and solar-powered lights as well.

hope this helps someone
