Accessories	160 DS	290 DS

	Spectralight® Infinity Extension Tubes Extension tubes can be added in increments of 400 mm/16 in or 600 mm/24 in for long runs without sacrificing performance. The secret is the unrivaled reflectivity of Spectralight® Infinity tubing, making it possible to create up to 90 degree angles and long tube runs up to 9 m/30 ft m.
	Spectralight® Infinity 0-90 Degree Extension Tube The 0-90 degree extension tube provides the ability to install around severe obstacles. With three built-in 30 degree angle adapters, this 0-90 degree extension tube gives you the flexibility to install just about anywhere. Using an innovative angle adaptor design, the 0-90 Degree Extension tube provides the superior performance that flexible tubes can't match. (Available in 23" length)
	Flashing Turret Extensions Use to raise the height of the Solatube dome on a roof to avoid snow, water, or shading from roof obstructions. Order additional Spectralight® Infinity tubing to accomodate turret height. These are made to order as required 2 in/ 50 mm Turret Extension installed on a tile roof.
	Flashing Insulator This insulating material helps to reduce flashing condensation in cold climates when the flashing is exposed to a humid interior space. The insulator is affixed to the flashing base and the top tube slips through the opening, which provides a seal between the interior and metal flashing.
	Dome Edge Protection Band For use on Class A, B, or C roofs to maintain fire rating.
	Shock Inner Dome High Velocity Wind Zone areas such as South Florida require the Solatube Shock Inner Dome. This highly impact-resistant inner dome can also be added to any installation for extra protection from extreme forces.
