K Series Tubular Skylight Accessories
Kennedy offers a variety of accessories to assist with tile installations or add additional functionality to K Series Tubular Skylights.
Exhaust Vent Kit
The bathroom is unquestionably one of the most common rooms for added light. Yet, large amounts of warm moisture filled air can be an issue. Kennedy has engineered a solution with an integrated skylight exhaust system available currently only for the 10" model. Our vent kit is capable of exhausting 125 cfm, enough to vent a bathroom and shower stall. Kennedy's ingenious design disguises the intake vent in a sleek trim ring that incorporates the skylight diffuser. The vent is connected to a motor that is remotely located in your attic space, making it extremely quiet. Flexible exhaust tubing allows for many venting options including a dual exhaust in your shower stall. Kit includes decorative trim ring, ceiling exhaust cowling, 8 feet of 4" wide foil duct pipe and all hardware needed. The vent kit can also accommodate a light kit for evening lighting.

Solar LED Light Kit
Just because night falls, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the light from your tubular skylight. The Solar LED Light Kit from Kennedy is the perfect solution to fill your space with a soft glow even after the sun has set. The Solar LED is designed to be installed with any of Kennedy Skylight’s rigid light pipe tubular skylights. The kit includes rechargeable batteries that are charged during the day and illuminate between 8-10 hours at night with an auto shut-off feature. Homeowners are eligible for the 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit on all residential tubular skylight installations that include our Solar LED Light Kit.

Electric Light Kit
There may be instances where a room is either too small or it's otherwise undesirable to have a second light fixture on the ceiling. Kennedy has an ingenious solution - an electric light kit. The kit adds an electric light fixture into your tubular skylight for night time use and is installed directly into the lower portion of the light pipe and wired to a wall switch. It can be installed in the previous fixture's ceiling opening or can be added anywhere with additional electrical wiring. The light kit is available in 2 different models: single bulb and dual bulb and hold standard CFL or LED light bulbs. Installation of the light kit is very straightforward but does require wiring to a 120 VAC supply according to local codes and proper grounding.

Dimmer Kit with Remote Control
The Kennedy remote controlled dimmer allows you to adjust the amount of daylight entering the room through your tubular skylight. The dimmer is available for the 10", 13" 18" and 21" K series tubular skylight models. It's perfect for any room that may need to be darkened during the day including bedrooms, TV or media rooms and conference rooms. The dimmer kit is fully assembled and easy to install. It's a short section of light pipe that houses a rotating disc used to block out the incoming light. The amount of light entering the room will vary on the position of the rotating disc which is operated by adjusting the ON and OFF buttons on the included remote control.

Tile Roof Flashing Skirt
Most tubular skylight installations on tile roofs will need an additional flashing skirt. The custom designed flashing skirt is installed over the tubular skylight flashing to ensure a weather-tight installation and is available for our 10", 13" and 18" models. The flashing skirt is made of a soft, heavy-gauge aluminum that can be molded over any tile shape. The rubber seal fits over the base of the flashing. The steps to install a tubular skylight on tile roofs are slightly different than a standard installation. Please refer to our detailed installation instructions.
Parts: #10S, #13S, #18S
Turret Extension for Tile Roof Installations
The turret extension is a uniquely designed extender for the tubular skylight and may be required for some high-profile S-tile roof installations. The turret is slipped over the flashing lip to accommodate the additional height of the S-tiles. It is available for the 10" and 13" Kennedy K series tubular skylight models in powder coated black.
Parts: #10TE, #13TE
Light Pipe Angle Adaptors/Elbows
On some installations, it may not be possible to install a straight run of light pipe. For those installations, Kennedy offers a 12" angle adapter (or elbow). Angle adapters are manufactured using the same highly reflective material as our light pipes. The elbows are fully adjustable allowing you to skew the direction of the light pipe to avoid attic obstructions. The 10" and 13" adjusts from 0 - 45 degrees and 18" and 21" adjusts from 0 - 30 degrees. Other common applications include steep pitched roofs or cathedral roof installations. The angle adapters are available for all tubular skylight models. Each angle adapter comes with additional tek screws and foil tape.
Parts: #10E, #13E, #18E, #21E
