If you are home during day time a lot and want a lot of natural light, you can install a few light tubes in your house. I have installed a few solar tube brand in my house to improve the lighting, I am just amazed how much light they added. I have 2 10 inch one for the hall way and 6 14 inch to my basement area in my home. I have also put in a fiber optic back light in the tube for night time use (not bought from solar tube) http://www.solatube.com/
lighting, a solar Is it easy to install? Do you need to drill a lot of holes on dry walls? How much does it cost per light? Where do you order them (online or local dealer)? Thanks

Depending on your window and window treatment, it is not so bad. Also a correctly sized overhang based on your location (latitudes) can also be very effective.
