The 10" velux sky tube goes for $178 now. My kitchen one is nice, about as bright as a 100watt incandescent, but I'd like 2-3x more light to work under the hood with.
If your fixtures are still gloss white try adding a more reflective material behind them. The newer upgraded fixtures have silver reflectors. I've added reflectors on my exterior lights to get extra distance and light where I want it vs wasting it upwards or against the house. At my previous house, when I worked on cars more, I had some track lights I'd spot in under the hood.
