Creating Light. Controlling Sound.
Acoustic lighting, specified by lighting people.
Noisy rooms cost you.
Hard surfaces bounce sound around a room, so people raise their voices and the room gets louder still. In an RNID survey of 1,200 members of the UK public, almost half had left a café, pub or restaurant because it was too noisy. Offices lose focus and classrooms lose words in the same way. Acoustic lighting puts sound-absorbing material in the ceiling zone, close to where people talk, without giving up light or design.

Ideas for the spaces we light most.
Recycled & recyclable
From plastic bottles to quieter rooms.
The acoustic felt in our products is spun from PET, much of it recovered from used plastic bottles. It absorbs sound for the life of the building, then goes back into the recycling stream.
- Felt made with up to 60% recycled PET, much of it from post-consumer bottles
- Many designs assemble without glue, so felt, metal and electronics separate cleanly at end of life
- LED modules and drivers recycled under WEEE rules — ask us about take-back
Lighting control
Dim it your way.
Most of our acoustic luminaires are available with a choice of driver, so they work with the controls you already have, from a single wall dimmer to a building-wide DALI system or wireless app control. Options vary by product; we confirm the right driver for every line of your schedule.
- DALI
- DALI-2
- Casambi
- Bluetooth
- Push-dim
- Phase-cut
- 1–10 V
What it can — and can't — do
✓ It can
- Cut reverberation so speech is clearer
- Add absorption where walls and ceilings can't take panels
- Replace separate lights and acoustic panels with one product
✕ It can't
- Block sound passing between rooms
- Fix a very loud space on its own without enough coverage
- Replace a proper acoustic assessment for critical spaces
