I used some of that solar screen on the inside, to cut the extreme glare of sun that comes in during Summer days.. It's blinding otherwise.. I just made a lightweight frame from window screen framing material I had and the bottom of our skylights had a wooden rim around them that it attaches easily to. I just used a couple push pins or similar because I take it down in Fall, for more light. I'm sure my way traps heat inside the skylight tube, but I really don't like getting on the back side of my roof where the skylights are; too steep and high for me. BTW, I also did the same thing with screen frame and that clear "Shrink film" to put up in Winter, and that seems to help a lot. The bathroom definitely stays warmer with that in. The nice thing is I can change over from one to the other quickly and easily, from inside. It's not as good as you guys' ideas, but it works for me..
