Lighting device

A lighting device, comprising:

• a tube defining an interior and an exterior, and a longitudinal axis extending between a first end and a second end, the first end of the tube configured to receive light from a light source, and the second end of the tube configured to emit the light to an interior of a building;
• a reflective surface disposed on the interior of the tube;
• a flashing disposed about the exterior of the tube;
• a substantially transparent dome coupled to the tube proximate the first end;
• and
• a diffuser coupled to the tube at an angle that is non-perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and configured to direct the light into the interior of the building in a direction that is non-parallel to the longitudinal axis.

A method of making a lighting device, comprising:

• providing a tube defining an interior with a reflective surface and an exterior, and a longitudinal axis extending between a first end and a second end, the first end of the tube configured to receive light from a light source, and the second end of the tube configured to transmit the light to an interior of a building;
• coupling a flashing about the exterior of the tube;
• coupling a dome to the flashing proximate the first end of the tube;
• providing at least one projection extending inwardly toward the axis and disposed proximate the second end of the tube;
• supporting a diffuser at least temporarily on the projection;
• applying a bead of a hot melt silicone material substantially along an interface between the second end of the tube and the perimeter of the diffuser;
• and
• curing the hot melt silicone material while the diffuser is supported on the projection.

A lighting device, comprising:

• a tube defining an interior and an exterior, and a longitudinal axis extending between a first end and a second end, the first end of the tube configured to receive light from an exterior light source, and the second end of the tube configured to emit at least a portion of the light to an interior of a building;
• a reflective surface disposed on the interior of the tube;
• a flashing disposed about the exterior of the tube;
• a substantially transparent dome coupled to the tube proximate the first end;
• a supplemental light source disposed proximate the second end of the tube;
• and
• a transceiver coupled to the supplemental light source, the transceiver configured to receive a wireless signal for control of the supplemental light source and to communicate a status of the supplemental light source to a controller.
