Solatube Premier Dealer Installer: Solatube Home

Located in Carlsbad, California, Emmy award-winning producer Mark Allen began researching lighting solutions for his office, Scratch Media, to bring an affordable, energy-efficient daylighting solution to the space. Based on the quality, reputation, reviews and product catalog, Solatube was his final decision. Allen installed eighteen tubular skylights at the Scratch Media office to properly daylight the space and create a healthy and inspiring office environment.

Then, while returning from work one day, he realized that the dark rooms in his home could also greatly benefit from some natural light. He had been spending more and more time at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and his desire to create a healthy, clean and comfortable home environment rapidly increased.

Before the Solatube tubular skylights were added to Allen’s home, the entire house felt dark and gloomy. Allen wanted a daylighting design that could accommodate a layout where he never needed to turn a light on during the day and product features that integrated seamlessly into his existing mid-century style home.
