Decorative acoustic pendant lights bring a perfect balance of style, performance, and comfort to any interior setting. Designed to enhance visual appeal while improving acoustics, these luminaires add flair to offices, conference rooms, hospitality venues, and open spaces by combining illumination with sound-absorbing materials. Their eco-friendly PET felt construction not only contributes to sustainable design but also creates a more pleasant environment by softening ambient noise.
The design centers around a nominal 12.5-inch diameter PET felt shade, offered in three heights of 11, 14, and 17 inches. For smaller-scale applications, additional sizes of 8 and 12 inches are available, each with multiple height options. The pendants can be specified with either a solid felt surface or an optional Pinstripe detail, which may be selected in any color from the extensive PET felt palette. This wide color range allows for virtually unlimited combinations, enabling complete personalization of both the fixture and the space. To further extend design flexibility, canopies, cords, and stems are available in customizable finishes, with mounting options including cord, fixed stem, or a 50° swivel stem to suit different ceiling types such as grid, drywall, or open ceiling installations. Fixtures may be installed individually or in clustered arrangements to achieve striking visual compositions.
Performance is engineered for comfort and efficiency. A proprietary LED module provides uniform light from a single source, available in color temperatures of 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, or 4000K with CRI values above 80 or 90, ensuring excellent color accuracy within 2 SDCM. Optical performance includes cut-off angles of 50° or 80° for superior brightness control and visual comfort, supported by Solite lenses that deliver uniform beam spreads ranging from narrow to super wide flood. Depending on the chosen configuration, the system delivers lumen outputs from 700 to 3000 lumens, with efficacies ranging between 84 and 91 lumens per watt.
The housing construction is equally robust and refined. The upper housing is extruded aluminum, paired with a die-cast aluminum lower reflector. A twist-and-lock assembly ensures no visible fasteners within the knife-edge trim, preserving a clean, modern aesthetic. Despite its durable build, the fixture maintains a lightweight profile, not exceeding 8.67 pounds. The trim, canopy, and stem are finished with a polyester powder coat applied over a multi-stage pre-treatment, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Longevity and reliability are central to the system’s design. Lumen maintenance is reported at L70 beyond 60,000 hours, with calculated lifespans extending well beyond 200,000 hours under typical conditions. L80 performance surpasses 60,000 hours, with projections exceeding 126,000 hours. The fixture is also ASTM E-84 Class A fire-rated, moisture-resistant, UL and cUL listed, and suitable for dry indoor locations.
Driver and control compatibility provide additional flexibility. Multiple dimming drivers are available, all with a typical power factor above 0.9. Emergency battery backup options deliver 7W for up to 90 minutes, with maximum mounting heights up to 16 feet. While integral drivers are available in some configurations, recessed J-box mounting is not permitted when paired with emergency options.
Altogether, these decorative acoustic pendant lights merge form and function in a way that enriches architectural spaces. By blending PET felt acoustical performance, customizable finishes, precise optical control, and robust LED technology, they serve as both a striking design element and a high-performing lighting solution for modern interiors.
