It's sort of a cheesy version of a sun tube.

You can get up to 2000 watts equivalent light with a real sun tube over the 50 watts with a plastic bottle filled with water.

... They said something about water, bleach, and some sort of film cover. Can you explain how they are made? I might give it a try this weekend.


Hi HotSauce.

Basically, you get a 2 liter bottle. Fill it with clean water. Add 2 caps full of bleach to the water. Screw on cap. Then take a old black film canister (light proof) and cover the pop bottles cap to protect it from the sun.

The guy in the garage said he had them going for 2 years and no maintenance. I also imagine they are sealed (caulked) into the ceilings so they don't leak. So, once installed, you don't want to have to mess with it much...

Pretty neat idea.
