Looking to tame glare and excessive noise in an interior? The solution may lie in the right light. Many luminaires now better control the light they produce, eliminating the pesky hot spots that were once so common and the discomfort they caused. Another popular advancement is the inclusion of some sound-managing fabric within the construction of the luminaire, earning it the distinction of being an acoustic luminaire. In either case, the benefit of glare-free overhead lighting and improved acoustics at or near the ceiling plane is referred to as a quiet ceiling. This issue of SSL Online shares a few new lighting products helping to control the visual and acoustic noise overhead.
