Tube skylights or tubular natural daylighting devices capture sunlight using a rooftop dome, then transfer it indoors through a reflective tube that runs from the roof to the ceiling. From there, the light is evenly dispersed into the interior space using a diffuser.

Tubular daylighting devices are sometimes referred to as tube skylights, tubular skylights, sun pipes and light tunnels.
