What belongs in acoustic lighting?
Acoustic lighting combines a light source with a sound-absorbing shade, surround or body. It is intended for spaces where ceiling-mounted lighting can also contribute to the acoustic treatment, rather than serving as conventional office lighting alone.

Where to use pendant acoustic lights
These fixtures are often specified above shared tables, touchdown settings, project zones and reception areas. Suspended designs can define a zone beneath them while leaving the floor clear for desks, seating and circulation. They can complement, rather than replace, other measures such as acoustic ceiling baffles in larger or more open rooms.
How to select a configuration
- Match the fixture scale to the table, island or zone below.
- Consider suspension height, ceiling services and sightlines.
- Coordinate light distribution with the tasks carried out in the area.
- Choose a color and material that works with adjacent finishes.
