This Sky Tunnel has decorative diffuser options that make it look like an electric ceiling light. These models also have an integrated LED light so they can be used to illuminate a room at night. This is handy in a tight space — one fixture is more pleasing to the eye than the clutter of a light tube and a separate ceiling light. And whether the sun or the grid is providing the light, it is dimmable.
