Solar light tubes

Hi Jerry,
Why do skylight shafts have to be insulated but not solar light tubes?
I have just looked at several manufacturers web sites and not a one mentions having to insulate.

The manufacturers don't mention it and probably most importantly don't supply any insulation with the kits / products they sell. I have yet to see one that was insulated but I agree with you when you say that they should be.
