How well does it illuminte the house at night?

That was my question too. Also, how well does this work in the winter when they freeze? How well does it insulate? And I doubt they last very long before leaking starts considering the degradation of plastic from UV and the constant expansion and contraction associated with the warming and cooling.

Also, what if you don't have cathedral ceilings for the "water filled skylight"? Who thought this was a good idea again?

And if it bursts, there is the boiling water rain to experience.

You’re right. There are just too many problems. Better to sit in the dark.

Manila is famous for its cold winters!

Seriously low chance of freezing in Brazil, along the equator. The temperature is quite constant, like in Hawaii, limiting the expansion and contraction issue. And less tramatic than having to bury your kid when your jerry-rigged stolen electricity short-circuits.

That has to be the most loser, whiner post that I have seen in a long time.

.........Probably not an issue in the slums of India, African huts or tin shacks of Haiti.

And I doubt they last very long before leaking starts

.........Their shacks probably already leak.

Also, what if you don’t have cathedral ceilings for the “water filled skylight”?

........Most shacks in these areas do have “cathedral ceilings”.

Probably not the best idea for 90% of Americans, although I just might try this out in my shed, which I never did get around to wiring for electric.
