Sun Tunnel Installation in Reservoir
Ten high-reflective 250 mm MaxLight sun tunnels were supplied and installed across this single-storey Reservoir property, bringing natural light through a tiled roof into multiple internal areas.
A multi-room daylighting project using rigid reflective tubes
This Reservoir project was designed around a series of compact ceiling diffusers rather than large glazed roof windows. The documented scope included ten 250 mm SolarBright MaxLight units, rigid 1600 mm shafts, Aurora Max diffusers and six additional 600 mm reflective tube extensions.
Positions coordinated through the roof and ceiling structure
The early project photographs show a building under construction, with exposed timber framing and several proposed diffuser locations marked in red. This provided clear access for planning the routes between the tiled roof and the intended ceiling positions.
The photographs support a distributed installation across multiple internal spaces. Exact room names cannot be confirmed reliably from the visual record, so the page does not assign unsupported room uses.
From marked ceiling positions to finished daylight diffusers
Position planning
Proposed locations were identified against the exposed ceiling and roof framing before the interior linings were closed.
Roof penetrations
Each roof component was integrated into the concrete tile covering, with the circular upper openings ready to connect to the reflective tubes.
Tube routing
The rigid 1600 mm tube assemblies were supplemented by six 600 mm high-reflective extension sections where additional length was required.
Ceiling completion
The round Aurora Max diffusers were finished neatly within the plaster ceilings after the building works progressed.
Roof inspection
Completed roof photographs show the individual roof penetrations distributed across separate roof planes.
Final daylight result
The finished images show bright, compact ceiling outlets that sit discreetly within hallways and other internal areas.
Roof work and completed interior finishes
What was installed
- Ten 250 mm SolarBright MaxLight sun tunnels
- Rigid 1600 mm reflective shafts
- Aurora Max ceiling diffusers
- Six additional 600 mm extension tubes
- Installation to a single-storey concrete tile roof
- Supply and installation by Central Skylights
Compact daylight outlets across several internal areas
A sun tunnel carries daylight from a relatively small roof opening through a reflective tube to a ceiling diffuser below. For this project, the ten-unit layout allowed natural light to be distributed across multiple positions without requiring ten large ceiling shafts.
The completed photographs show the visual advantage of the round diffusers: each outlet has a compact footprint and blends into the ceiling similarly to a large recessed light fitting.

Questions about this sun tunnel installation
How many sun tunnels were installed?
Ten 250 mm SolarBright MaxLight sun tunnels were documented for this Reservoir project.
What type of roof was involved?
The invoice identifies a tile roof, and the project photographs show concrete roof tiles on a single-storey building.
Were extra tube lengths required?
Yes. The documented scope included six additional 600 mm extension tubes, each specified as 98% reflective.
Was this a VELUX skylight installation?
No. Although the receipt’s installation line uses generic VELUX wording, the product schedule specifically identifies SolarBright MaxLight sun tunnels. This page follows the detailed product description.
Can Central Skylights assess a similar property?
Yes. Roof type, ceiling position, tube route and required shaft length can be assessed during a free measure-and-quote appointment.
