The invention discloses lighting skylights and a transformation method thereof, and relates to the field of roof transformation of buildings. According to the key points of the technical scheme, the transformation method comprises the following steps that S1, a rigid protective layer is made on an original lighting ceiling; S2, a plurality of sets of steel structures are welded to original I-shaped steel of the original lighting ceiling; S3, the openable lighting skylight is mounted on each set of steel structure; S4, gluing is conducted for close-up; and S5, glass plates and the rigid protective layer in the original lighting ceiling are dismantled. The lighting skylights and the transformation method thereof have the technical effects that 1, the shape of the original lighting ceiling isanalyzed, the openable lighting skylights are additionally arranged on the original lighting ceiling, the glass plates of the original lighting ceiling are removed, thus the new lighting ceiling structure is formed, and firefighting smoke-discharging and natural ventilation can be achieved on the new lighting ceiling; and 2, an area below the original lighting ceiling is not affected by the transformation method, for example, when a shopping mall is transformed, normal operating is not affected.
