- LBLisa BellMay 27, 20255.0I have not received better service anywhere in Wilmington! I first contacted this company about blinds for a roof skylight. They informed me that code for skylights changed on April 7th, 2025, & that solar blinds are included with new Velux skylights, & that is more expensive to add them later. I was able to contact my HOA, & paid the difference in cost for the added solar blinds. Sunlight also informed me that, if they were to do the work, it would invalidate my roof warranty (which they looked at). I have never received such good service, anywhere else in Wilmington! If I was not in an HOA, I would definitely use them.
- DGDennis GibsonFeb 11, 20255.0We are very pleased with Sun4Lights, installation of Velux solar tubes. Our living room was always so dark, we usually had our lamps turned on. Now light pours into the room even on a cloudy day. Everything went so well, very little mess and that was cleaned up by the installers. I highly recommend using this company!

- GVGeoffrey VanceJul 27, 20225.0We had them replace our skylight. The whole process from getting the qoute to the finished product was seamless. I had a couple of questions leading up to the installation and they responded in a timely manner. They did a great job matching our existing shingles. The install crew were friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this company.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sun4Light, Inc.
How many sun tunnels do I need in my home?
The number of units is determined by the square footage of the room and length of the tube. A ten inch unit can light approximately 200 square feet and is ideal for small bathrooms and hallways. Longer tube lengths are often better suited for fourteen inch Sun Tunnels. The more popular fourteen inch Sun Tunnel light approximately 325 square feet. They are ideal for lighting kitchen, family rooms, and larger spaces.
My skylight looks cloudy. Can I just replace the glass?
Glass replacement requires the purchase of an entirely new skylight. Unfortunately, when a new glass top is installed on an old unit, it is not possible to provide an adequate warrant. Since you are already buying a new unit and paying labor, we recommend replacing the entire unit so you receive a 10 Year Product and Installation Warranty.
Should I replace my bubbled/acrylic skylight?
Yes. VELUX offers various stock-sized laminated loe3 glass units to fit most acrylic units. Flat glass skylights are more energy efficient, 50% quieter, meet building codes, and include a 10 Year Glass Hail Breakage Warranty.
Why is the glass important in my skylight?
Building codes require a minimum of laminated glass for skylights installed in “out of reach” or 8-foot ceiling heights. Laminated glass is similar to the glass installed in car windshields. If broken, the shards of glass are large chunks. Whereas, tempered glass is similar to car windows. If broken, the glass separates into lots of little pieces. Tempered glass does not meet building code requirements for “out of reach” applications.
Coastal customers, living in areas where wind gusts meet or exceed 155 mph, are encouraged to upgrade the glass in their skylights to impact glass. Impact glass is another layer of laminated glass and is resistant to penetration from flying debris.
Laminated glass offers 25% more sound protection than tempered units and 50% more sound protection than plastic.
Only laminated and impact glass have VELUX 10 Year Glass Hail Breakage Warranties.
What are the options to reduce heat gain or soften the light from my skylight?
VELUX offers solar-powered room-darkening and light-filtering blinds. Light-filtering blinds are great for diffusing light. Whereas the room-darkening blinds have an inner-layer of silver reflective radiant barrier. The radiant barrier allows the blinds to reduce heat and darken the living spaces. If a solar-powered blind is installed at the time a fixed or manually venting skylight is installed or replaced, the entire project qualifies for a 26% solar tax credit.
How many sun tunnels should I install for adequate lighting?
The number of sun tunnels depends on room size and tube length: a 10-inch unit lights about 200 sq ft, ideal for small rooms, while a 14-inch unit covers approximately 325 sq ft for larger spaces.
Can I just replace the glass on my cloudy skylight?
No, glass replacement requires purchasing a new skylight unit to ensure a full warranty; replacing only the glass won't provide adequate protection.
Should I replace my bubbled or acrylic skylight?
Yes, replacing it with laminated loe3 glass units improves energy efficiency, reduces noise, meets building codes, and includes a 10-year hail breakage warranty.
Why is laminated glass important for skylights?
Laminated glass meets building codes for high ceilings, offers better sound protection, and has safety benefits by holding large shards if broken; impact glass provides extra protection against debris in coastal areas.
What options are available to reduce heat or soften skylight light?
VELUX offers solar-powered blinds including light-filtering for diffusing light and room-darkening with reflective barriers that reduce heat, which can qualify for a 26% solar tax credit if installed with skylights.
