A quiet environment is a human need. Studies have shown that excessive noise increases stress hormones that make us ill, distracts us, and can be isolating by hindering personal communication. Open spaces in office design, classrooms, and dining establishments raise acoustic challenges. One unique solution is to illuminate an area with acoustic lighting to create optimal lighting conditions and a balanced acoustic environment to enhance concentration, promote social interaction, and create a general sense of well-being.
This month, we’re featuring some of our favorite manufacturers that offer acoustic lighting solutions to help you control high noise levels and vibration. And these luminaires are beautiful – check out this selection below.
