A Big Impact for Big Rooms
Why the New Solatube® Brighten Up® 290 DS Plus Is Ideal for Large Rooms and Open Floor Plans
Not every room is designed the same, so why should every skylight be?
Large kitchens, open-concept living areas, vaulted ceilings, and oversized gathering spaces require more than a standard daylighting solution. That’s why Solatube® developed the new Brighten Up® 290 DS Plus Round Model, featuring a 21-inch ceiling opening specifically engineered to deliver beautiful, balanced natural daylight across larger spaces.
As part of the Next Generation of the Brighten Up® Skylight Series, the 290 DS Plus represents Solatube’s latest innovation in daylight delivery, reimagining how natural light enters a room while complementing today’s architectural styles.
Daylighting Performance, Light Years Ahead
At Solatube, daylighting is engineered from the rooftop to the room.
Every Brighten Up® skylight is designed to optimize the complete daylight path:
Capture Zone
Raybender® 3000 technology captures sunlight from virtually any angle throughout the day.
Transfer Zone
SpectraLight® Infinity tubing delivers exceptional daylight, with available InfraReduction technology for improved thermal performance.
Delivery Zone
The newest innovation features redesigned diffusers, lenses, and fixture options that provide greater design flexibility and optimized daylight distribution.
Bigger Design Without Compromising Performance
The new 290 DS Plus introduces Solatube’s largest residential diffuser yet, with a 21-inch ceiling opening engineered to deliver a wider, more evenly balanced spread of natural daylight in large, open spaces. The larger diffuser isn’t simply about size. It’s about creating daylight that’s proportional to the scale of the room, helping large kitchens, family rooms, and vaulted spaces feel brighter, more balanced, and more inviting.
Benefits include:
Wider, more balanced daylight distribution
Enhanced visual scale for expansive interiors
Seamless integration with modern home design
Exceptional natural light delivery throughout the day
Whether you’re designing a new home or upgrading an existing one, the 290 DS Plus helps create brighter, more inviting living spaces while preserving the clean, architectural aesthetic of the Brighten Up® Series.
The Next Generation of Daylight Delivery
The new Brighten Up® Series represents Solatube’s latest evolution in residential daylighting.
With innovations spanning daylight capture, transfer, and delivery, every component has been engineered to maximize performance while giving homeowners more options than ever before. The new 290 DS Plus continues that commitment by bringing bigger, brighter daylight to the spaces that need it most.
Big rooms deserve bold daylight. And with the new Solatube® Brighten Up® 290 DS Plus, natural light has never looked better.
