Do I Need An Electric Light Kit For My Sun Tunnel?

Sun tunnels are an incredible way of transferring natural light from outside the home to inside it and turning a dark space into a bright one.

But what use is your sun tunnel when the sun goes down and the daylight disappears? This is where

 

electric light kits

 

come

 

in.

These are a handy accessory that can be easily fitted into your pitched roof sun tunnel post installation

 

to make sure you can always turn on your sun tunnel - even at night

Available from Sterlingbuild and the VELUX Group, electric light kits are one of the most popular accessories for sun tunnels.

For a limited time only, Sterlingbuild light tunnels come with a free electric light kit as standard to ensure your space is always well lit*.

But how do you know if you need a light kit or not?

Reasons to Add an Electric Light Kit

Whether or not you need an electric light kit for your sun tunnel will depend on what additional means of

 

lighting already exists in the space.

If you already have sufficient natural or artificial lighting installed close by to your

 

sun tunnel, a light kit might not be necessary.

 

However a lot of the time sun tunnels can be the main or sole source of light for a room, cupboard or hallway.

This makes equipping your sun tunnel with an electric light kit a no brainer. The kit fits seamlessly onto the existing tunnel for a space saving, highly practical design.

Most electric light kits, such as Sterlingbuild's,

 

are LED compatible so will not consume

 

energy at nearly the same rate as incandescent bulbs and will provide a long lifetime of dependable light.
