I Need Sunglasses! LOL

This is my new solar light in the kitchen. Currently it is overcast and downpouring with rain and just look at the light coming through. I will need sunglasses on a sunny day. This dome is only 10" in diameter. The first picture was taken without a flash. The solar light is so bright it made my white kitchen look black in comparison.


Here I used the flash. Again it is so dark outside with heavy cloud. Imagine how bright this is going to be with sunshine!











This is the tube that comes from the roof through the attic to the kitchen. The standard length is 4' which is exactly the distance I had fortunately, otherwise it's $45 a foot more!!! Yikes.

Here's the solar fan in the roof. It just fit between the beams!










Here you can see it spinning. Again remember it is heavily overcast outside, yet the fan is still spinning about 10% it's speed. Imagine how fast it will spin when there is sunshine! Since it is located right over the stairs, I can open the pull down stairs and it will also suck up the heat from the house!
Since this is run totally on solar power, both the dome light in the kitchen and this fan will cost me "nothing" in electricity!!!!
