I would still put it in. The nice thing about the Solatubes is they will throw a lot of light into the room. Obviously centered would still be better, but even at the location you have it, you will never need to turn on a light during the day. We have ours installed in a bathroom that looks to be about the same size as yours. I always walk by and think that someone left the light on. Here is our bathroom.

Thanks for the reply Izerac. We have a skylight in the bathroom where we currently live and I think I would miss having the light.

Any one have any recent experience with a brand they prefer or one they would steer clear of? From what I've read, the flexible tunnels don't provide quite as much light but this might allow us to locate the diffuser in a more asthetically acceptable spot on the ceiling.

Solatube makes a few offset fittings. You can add the 90 degree adaptors and probably get it to the middle of the room. As far as I am concerned, Solatube is at the top for light tubes. I spec and see a lot of products, they have a bunch of features that sets them apart.

Unfortunately the TJIs run the wrong direction and the fur down is only 8". Too much plumbing and HVAC in the way to have much flexibility.

We have our sun tunnel running through a closet in the upstairs level to a main level bathroom. It is off centre in the room in order to get it to run through the closet. Despite the long run, and the fact that the dome is on the north part of the roof it still provides lots of natural light. It is a long, but straight run. Not sure how Sun Tunnels by Velux compare to the Solatube. After we bought our Sun Tunnel, we read lots of good reviews about the Solatube go figure.

Good luck.

Is there any way you could center it in front of the linen closet doors? I agree it should be installed regardless, but it would look better if it was centered over something, and moving it up would throw even more light toward the sink area.
