Enhance Your Commercial Tubular Skylight with an Accessory
Natural Light offers several products to add extra functionality to our tubular skylights.
NATURAL LIGHT COMMERCIAL ACCESSORY
Dimmer Kit with Remote
The Natural Light remote controlled dimmer allows you to adjust the amount of daylight entering the office through your tubular skylight. The dimmer is available for all tubular skylight models (10″, 13″, 18″ and 21″). It’s perfect for any room that may need to be darkened during the day including media rooms and conference rooms. The dimmer kit is fully assembled and easy to install.
How Does the Dimmer Work?
The commercial dimmer kit is a short section of light pipe that houses a rotating disc used to block out the incoming light. The amount of light entering the room will vary on the position of the rotating disc which is operated by adjusting the ON and OFF buttons on the included remote control.
Dimmer Kit Installation
The dimmer kit assembly is installed as the lower portion of the light pipe. The kit is 12″ long and its length must be calculated into the overall light pipe run needed for your installation. The dimmer comes fully assembled from the factory, it just needs to be plugged into a standard electrical outlet. The kit also includes a receiver that must hang vertically on a nearby stud in the attic. The dimmer may also be hard-wired using a momentary switch (not included). NOTE: When a dimmer is installed together with a light kit, the light kit must be installed below the dimmer.

Electric Light Kit
There may be instances where an office space is either too small or is undesirable to have a second ceiling light fixture. For these situations, Natural Light designed a light kit in 2 different models: single bulb and dual bulb. The light kit can be installed in the existing fixture’s opening or can be added anywhere with additional electrical wiring.
How Does the Electric Light Kit Work?
The light kit adds an electric light fixture inside the tubular skylight for night time use. The light fixture is installed directly into the lower portion of the light pipe and is wired to a wall switch. For maximum energy efficiency, Natural Light recommends using CFL or LED bulbs.
Electric Light Kit Installation
Installation of the light kit is very straightforward, but does require electrical wiring skills. A small hole is drilled in the lower section of the light pipe to accommodate the light fixture. The main lamp bracket comes assembled, but needs to be attached to the light pipe with the supplied nuts and washers. The kit must be wired to 120 VAC supply according to local codes and must be properly grounded. Complete instructions are included with each kit for easy installation. Additional wiring may require a licensed professional.

Angle Adapters / Elbows
On some installations, it may not be possible to install a straight run of light pipe. For those installations, Natural Light offers a 12″ angle adapter (or elbow). The angle adapter is constructed out of the same highly reflective material as our light pipe.
The commercial 18″ and 21″ light pipe elbows adjust from 0 – 30 degrees. The angle adapters skew the direction of the light pipe to avoid attic obstructions. Another common application includes unique architectural buildings with unique ceilings. Each angle adapter comes with additional tek screws and foil tape.

Extra Light Pipe
Extra sections of light pipe are available for tall attic installations in either 12″ or 24″ lengths. Each section comes with additional tek screws and foil tape. Below is a chart listing the maximum length of light pipe recommended for each tubular skylight model:
| MODEL SIZE | MAXIMUM LIGHT PIPE LENGTH |
|---|---|
| 18" | 20 feet |
| 21" | 20 feet |

Security Bar
The security bar is designed to prevent unwanted entry through the dome. The bar sits diagonally across the diameter of the flashing opening and attaches to the flashing lip with two rivets.
