Integrating roof lights as part of a proposed design can be a great decision as they offer a plethora of benefits. 

1. Roof lights offer up to 40% more natural light than traditional windows.

   
   

2. With a bright interior space, the need for switching on artificial lighting reduces thus your lighting bill is reduced.

   
   

3. As warm air naturally rises, roof lights can aid in improving natural ventilation. Heat, smoke and stale air will be provided with a natural passage of escape.

   
   

4. Roof lights aid in preventing condensation, damp and other associated mould growths.

   
   

5. Roof lights come in a range of different designs with varying thicknesses of frames. They also come as fixed frames or electronically controlled opening frames. This provides convenience at greater heights with limited accessibility.

   
   

6. Hi-tech products also have integrated sensors which automatically close when rain is detected.    

   
   

7. They are a great addition when creating a vaulted ceiling. This combination creates a sense of greater volume and airiness which is especially conducive with modest size extension. The eyes are instantly averted upwards.
