The illlustration for the caption is of huge circular light inlets in the ceiling of a library. It's in a text about natural light architectural components. Can't use "skylight" as the text says "lucernas y claraboyas", and I've used skylight for "lucerna".

roof lights/ windows
Having read your list under pasos de luz, I've more confidence and feel clearer.
Roof light is a window, despite its contradictory name - I've double checked! http://www.loftshop.co.uk/products_detail.asp?catID=1&typeID... "Traditional Roof Light".
Just a shame roof window doesn´t have quite the same ring about it!
http://www.loftshop.co.uk/products.asp?catID=1
http://www.ascinfo.co.uk/9/company/05/96/04/company_9.html has info about "roof lanterns" - rather too specific in shape for me to offer this. But the site has more interesting variations.

roof-light
una opción.
Note from asker:
| Yes - they're just glass circles in the ceiling. I think roof-light covers it. |
