Re: Has anyone installed a solatube or similar skylight? 19May 11, 2009 6:18 pm In Sydney, Solatubes (290mm) with a chrome surround and flush mounting cost about $1500 (each) installed for a 2.2m tube. These models are their current models with the brighter (more reflective) tubes, not the old models. A Skydome tube is slightly cheaper but much less brighter. I don't know where people are getting the much cheaper prices, but I've had a couple of quotes and they are all in the same ballpark. Perhaps we're not comparing apples to apples?
