Do we really need skylights in the shower?

Last night I was taking a shower and looked up at the skylight and wondered to myself, do we really need this thing? I mean it's only practical during the daylight hours, it's a big penetration in the roof that's prone to leaks and weakens the roof, and it lets in a huge amount of heat on sunny days.

So my question to you is this. If the manufacturer offered you the choice would you rather:
  1. Take the skylight as standard equipment
  2. Skip the skylight and opt for $150 cash in your pocket
  3. Skip the skylight and take a 150 watt solar panel in that spot for no extra cost.
  • I like the skylight. It makes the bathroom brighter. And, I would like to see one that opens, assuming it didn't leak.

    Would you buy a RV with no Windows? :)
  • At 6'2" I am glad they have skylights in shower stalls.
    Allows me to stand tall while showering.

    Works for me.

    Now ceiling fans .....that's a different story
