Roof lanterns are the perfect solution to light deficiencies throughout your home. Letting in three times the amount of light of a verticle window, lanterns also produce more light than skylights. This is due primarily to the pyramid shape that roof lanterns come in. This permits the sunshine to come in from the sides as well as above.
Letting in maximum sunlight optimises your living space. It's also more thermally efficient than alternative window solutions, which could save you on energy bills.
