Sound Absorption

The Acoustics Collection offers an opportunity to integrate lighting and sound absorption closer to the source of noise for an optimal acoustic solution.

LightArt's Acoustic Testing

LightArt’s research and development team collaborated with acoustics expert Zackery Belanger of Arcgeometer in a pivotal partnership for the Acoustic Collection.

The ongoing effort includes laboratory and field measurements to yield a deep understanding of the performance of the Acoustic Collection as effective acoustic and lighting solutions.

    Acoustics and Size

    The reverberation time of a space is determined by its size, surface area, and the total amount of absorption within. LightArt’s acoustic collection is designed so each fixture delivers large amounts of absorption, and the total number of fixtures can be chosen to meet the acoustic goals of the space.

Sound absorbing Sola felt is made from 50% post consumer recycled polyethylene terephthalate otherwise known as PET. Commonly found in water bottles, PET is recycled into pellets and then extruded into a thin, soft fibers, which then are pressed into sheets creating a sustainable, acoustically impactful material.

Sola felt has also gone through material transparency documentation and has a LBC Red List Free Declare Label. Providing an eco-friendly solution for acoustical lighting applications.
