If a closet isn't available, route the light tube in the corner of a 2nd floor room and frame it in with 2x4's and drywall.

Very nice job! I hope you keep posting more about Solatube and their many applications. Do you know that Solatube also manufactures a Solar Attic Fan that is even easier to install? It's also a great way to save energy, reduce your electrical bill and keep your attic cool. Thank you again for posting this. I completely agree with Eco-building products. Very nice job!
