Acoustic Lighting

Acoustic light fittings are wrapped in or made from sound-absorbing material, often a felt or fibre panel, that soaks up sound energy instead of reflecting it. This shortens reverberation, so speech is clearer and background noise is lower. They do not stop sound passing between rooms; they improve the acoustic comfort within the space where they are installed.

It depends on the room size, surfaces and how noisy the space is. Acoustic benefit comes from total absorbent area, so a large open-plan office needs several fittings spread evenly, while a small meeting room may need only one or two. Plan the number first for the lighting level needed, then check whether the acoustic effect is enough. For critical spaces, ask an acoustic consultant.

Often yes, but the suspension must be fixed to a secure point that can take the weight, such as the structural soffit or a grid-rated fixing, rather than the ceiling tile alone. Larger linear pendants may need several suspension points. Check the fitting's weight and fixing requirements in the manufacturer's instructions, and follow current wiring regulations for the connection.

The range covers neutral and bold colours, and the versions currently listed include the following. Poppy, Alana, Belle and Louise pendants are available in grey, with Belle also in dark grey. The Lilo comes in grey, black and red, the Sinead in grey, blue, black and dark grey, and the JD in blue, green, orange, red and yellow. Neutral tones blend with ceilings, while brighter colours work as design features.

Yes, classrooms are one of the most common applications. Reducing echo helps pupils hear the teacher clearly and lowers background noise during group work. Acoustic pendants or panels can provide both general lighting and sound absorption from one fitting. Check the light output and glare control against guidance for educational spaces, and confirm any acoustic targets set for the project.

It depends on the driver supplied with the fitting. Some acoustic luminaires are available with dimmable or DALI drivers, which allow presence detection, daylight dimming and scene control, while others are switched only. Check the product details or ask our team before ordering if controls are required, and make sure any sensor or control system is compatible with the driver type.
