Anyone used a sun tunnel before? http://www.velux.ca/consumer/products/sun_tunnel_skylights/

I've looked at them (the original brand which I can't think of the name of) a few times years ago thinking that they are great products but in a showroom with a number of them in the ceiling I could sure tell that the choice of defuser is critical. Some of the clearer ceiling covers created an almost 'too bright' flashlight-like glare that would be irritating. Maybe Google for people having issues around that potential problem. The plastic dome on the brand I looked at was really heavy duty, thick, sturdy plastic. That gave me a lot more confidence in them (that brand anyway).
