Offices & meeting rooms
Clearer calls, fewer distractions and better focus in open-plan spaces.

The problem
Open-plan offices are full of hard, reflective surfaces: glass partitions, exposed concrete, hard floors and screens. Speech carries across the floor, phone and video calls pick up the room, and people find it harder to concentrate. In open-plan spaces the main issue is often how far intelligible speech travels from each desk, which is what EN ISO 3382-3 measures.
How acoustic lighting helps
Acoustic linear luminaires and pendants put absorption directly above desks and meeting tables, where conversations start. Because they replace lights you need anyway, you gain absorption without losing wall space or adding a separate ceiling system. In open-plan areas, acoustic lighting works best as one part of a wider approach that also uses screens, furniture layout and, where needed, sound masking.
- Run acoustic linears in rows over desk clusters for even light and absorption
- Check the glare rating of each product and size: some are UGR below 19, which EN 12464-1 gives for writing, reading and screen work, and others are UGR below 22
- Add pendants over meeting tables, where speech is most concentrated
- Treat meeting and video-call rooms as well as the open floor, since small hard rooms echo badly
- Bring in an acoustic consultant early if the project has an EN ISO 3382-3 or WELL target
