Although the amount of light can be found on the web sites for these
skylights, there is a subjective quality to the amount of light. We
have two 10" solatubes. One is installed in a windowless bathroom. It
made a dramatic change in the light level. No additional lighting is
needed on a sunny day. Even a bright clooudy day produces acceptable
lighting.
The second Solatube is over an island in an interior kitchen. (All
work surfaces are at least 12 feet from any windows.) The adjacent
eating/sitting area has eight 6' x 2' windows and a patio door facing
south. Although the Solatube did improve the light over the counter,
it was not nearly as dramatic as in the bathroom. There is still quite
a bit of light streaming into the area from the eating area windows.
In this case, if I had to do it over again, I would say the 10"
skylight was not worth for this case. The larger 14" might have been
the better choice here.
If you do a Google search you will see similar comments. I believe
that one of the manufacturers brings this out as well.
