Funky_Gibbon Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 How much do they cost? I have a windowless bathroom and I'd love to have some natural light in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrejuan Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Wickes have started selling them but they are not cheap, I have been looking at them myself for a poorly lit room but wondered if they were soundproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they go up to £300 (not including fitting), not over the top IMO. Not sure about them being soundproof, unless the dome is double glazed I would imagine the tunnel forms an echo chamber.
