GABE OLSEN Christmas with Ray. RAY Christmas with Ray. GABE Love it. RAY So before we get into it, this is a DIY kit. GABE It is. RAY Is Otherwise known as do-it-yourself. So it’s kind of exciting, as you said, Christmas here. This is our lens kit. So this the part that brings the light into the tube, right? GABE Exactly, so this is gonna be the dome. So you wanna, you know, keep this for once you get the roof part of the system secured. The key here, it gets light throughout the day, even on those winter months where the light’s not tracking, the sun’s not tracking as high. It’s gonna be able to reflect that light right in. RAY This is probably one of the biggest pieces that Solatube is known for. It’s their flashing kit. We do have the guarantee. Nice instruction manual. It’s for the DIYer that’s gonna be installing this, so we have a nice instruction manual here that we can use along with our product guarantee. GABE Exactly, and all range of talents too. Yeah. Maybe I could even do it. RAY Okay, but we’ll say maybe you can. This is ownership and care and what kind of warranties you have. So it actually comes with a 10-year warranty for the dome and the flashing, okay? GABE Exactly, exactly, and the flashing made here in America at our manufacturing facility. Great flashing. We actually recently upgraded it, even more, to prevent against any type of rusting and things like that, so that 10-year warranty is gonna hold up to that. RAY Okay. This is kind of a cool thing. Solar nightlight. That was actually pretty good. I caught that. GABE Yeah, that was impressive. RAY Solar nightlight. So let’s see how this works. So this is a unit that goes in the tube, so it just has some stickers. Man, we’re gonna have to give a discount to whoever’s buying this one. Hey, if you’re on Instagram right now and you want a discount on this specific model, let us know. We’ll discount it for you. Solar. This is cool. Solar nightlight. GABE Exactly. RAY So this solar nightlight, as it’s Solatube, bringing sunlight in, right? So we’re charging this during the day. And then how does it turn on at night? GABE When it gets dark on the top here, that sensor automatically turns it on, so it just has that soft amount of light. RAY They’re fairly bright this close to it, but I notice in my house it’s not, like, overpowering bright; it’s just a nice, almost like a full moonlight, which is really nice. GABE Perfect walking down a hallway or something like that, or not having to flip on the lights for a midnight snack. RAY Right, so again, if you’re interested in these DIY kits, especially this specific one, ’cause I’m kinda rifling through it right now, we are gonna run you a special on this kit. So you also have really good packaging in here. I’m impressed. But this right here, Master Seal. GABE TX1. RAY TX1. So this is our rooftop penetration. This is what’s happening on the actual, your flashing kit here. So you guys supply this as well in the DIY kit. GABE Absolutely, and that’s gonna stand behind the warranty as well, as long as it’s installed correctly. You know, by someone like yourself, or, you know, whoever wants to be a weekend warrior. But the great thing about that sealant is you’re not having to go out to the store trying to mix and match parts for what we have in the box. This comes ready-made. Perfect for any type of present. Anything like that, to be able to install it perfectly. RAY Awesome. So it’s a complete kit. GABE Exactly. RAY So we’re gonna open this up. And I do feel like Christmas. GABE Right, this is kind of fun. A little bit of partnership too. skylight installation - sun tunnel - natural lighting life hacks
