Deb in Indiana,
There *may* be a big difference between "light" and "light good for
plants". The plants need UV to a more or less degree depending on the
plant. I would expect that solar tubes of normal (affordable) sort
would not let much UV get to your plants in the basement.
No doubt others will have more authoritative information.
