History of Solatube	The roots of Solatube International Inc, originator of the tubular skylight, go back to the 1980s and inventor Steve Sutton. At a time when poorly designed – and often leak-prone – traditional skylights had become the scorn of home and business owners, the inventor had a revolutionary idea: a compact, leak-proof and effective alternative. His concept incorporated a light-capturing system on the rooftop that redirected light down through a highly reflective cylinder to a diffuser at ceiling level. The system would be simple to install without structural modifications and provide exceptional lighting.
The next step was making it happen. In 1986, a patent was sought and four years later, Solatube Pty was established with a group of Sydney-based entrepreneurs providing the marketing and manufacturing expertise necessary to launch the new product. The first Solatube® was sold in 1991 and sales that first year made the Solatube®the best-selling skylight of any kind in Australia. Following this phenomenal success, the founders decided to take the skylight to the North American market. In 1992, Solatube Inc was established and an office was opened in Carlsbad, California. Over the next few years, Solatube Inc added the 350 and 530mm diameter units to the market, along with accessories such as the integrated electric light fitting and ventilation kits that further enhanced the skylights. Solatube Inc became a major contender in the sky lighting industry.
By 1998, opportunities were escalating around the globe. The company was restructured and Solatube International Inc was established to manage worldwide operations. In 1999, having outgrown its existing building, Solatube International Inc moved into a new 55,000sq ft world headquarters in Vista, California, which allowed the company to further grow its operations and develop new technologies.

	In late 2002 Solatube again amazed the industry and showed their commitment to excellence by introducing Spectralight® Infinity reflective tube material. Investing more than four years and millions of dollars into research and development, and proving what was once thought to be a scientific impossibility to be a reality, Spectralight Infinity surpassed all scientific expectations for color rendering and specular reflectance. This means Solatube is able to provide it's customer's the brightest, whitest, natural light available today, and it's only available from Solatube.
	Solatube worldwide More than 20 years have passed since its first patent was sought, and Solatube has demonstrated an unrivalled commitment to state-of-the-art technology and design. The future looks even brighter for Solatube with several new products currently in development. By continuing to improve upon the oldest - and finest - light source of all, Solatube opens up a whole new world of natural lighting solutions. European operations were established in 1999 incorporating Austria, Eire, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Holland, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.
