Light and calm in one lamp

Sound is everywhere. In offices, schools, restaurants and care facilities, you hear people talking, calling, walking or shifting chairs. That creates unrest. Fortunately, there's a smart solution: acoustic lighting. That's lighting that not only provides good light, but also dampens sound. At Akoestieklabel we make these lamps ourselves, right here in the Netherlands. They really work and look great too.

Acoustic lighting is a lamp that also absorbs sound. That's because the shade or housing is made from sound-absorbing material, such as felt or acoustic foam. This helps the lamp reduce echo and reverberation. You'll often see this solution hanging above tables — exactly where most of the noise is generated.

We offer a wide choice of Acoustic Pendant Lights and Acoustic Wall Lights. We supply both our own designs and lamps from well-known brands. Everything can be made to measure.

In many buildings, the acoustics are poor. Think hard floors, high ceilings and bare walls. Sound bounces around and lingers, creating noise and stress. Acoustic lighting tackles that smartly. You get light and quiet in a single product, without having to hang extra panels or affect the interior.

Acoustic lighting provides:

• Less echo in busy spaces
• Better speech intelligibility
• More calm and focus

You notice it immediately, especially above meeting tables, in open-plan offices or in a classroom.

Acoustic lighting is ideal for:

• Offices: less distraction, better meetings
• Schools: calm learning spaces for students
• Hospitality: a pleasant atmosphere without the buzz of chatter
• Care facilities: calm spaces for patients and staff

We've already completed many projects in these sectors. On our Blog you can read how we approach it, such as an office where we combined both lighting and wall panels for a complete solution.

Sound-dampening lamps capture sound waves. These disappear into the lamp's soft material and don't bounce back. That makes the space sound quieter. The lamps work best above tables or workspaces — exactly where people talk.

At Akoestieklabel we use materials that dampen well and are sustainable. Many lamps are made from recycled felt or PET. And of course, we use energy-efficient LED lighting.

Sometimes acoustic lighting alone isn't enough. In larger spaces such as auditoriums, restaurants or call centres, it's smart to also add acoustic wall panels or ceiling panels. That way you get good acoustics throughout the whole space.

At Akoestieklabel we combine lighting and acoustic tiles into one whole. That's not only functional, but looks great too.
