LIGHT MEETS ACOUSTICS
HARMONY OF SOUND AND LIGHT
Well-being in a room is one of the most important ingredients for successful working, enjoying or socializing. Two essential aspects of this are good lighting and good acoustics. Studies show that a quiet environment, especially in a professional setting, has a significant impact on increasing productivity and well-being. Too much noise can even be detrimental to health, causing stress, high heart rates and increased blood pressure.
Sound behaves like other energy sources and 'travels' through space. When a sound wave hits a surface in a room, such as a wall, some of the sound is reflected and returned to the room and some is absorbed, depending on the nature of the surface. The higher the absorption coefficient of a material, the better it helps optimize the acoustics in the room.
Sound diffusion refers to the degree of 'dispersion' of sound waves in a room. Those sound waves that are not absorbed by surfaces therefore travel in different directions through the room, creating unpleasant noise. The aim is to achieve the lowest possible diffusion values. To prevent this, acoustic ceiling sails with integrated lighting can be placed directly above noise sources, such as workstations or meeting tables
OUR ACOUSTIC PRODUCT FAMILIES
We have added several new product families to our acoustic lighting collection in the past months. With innovative designs and technical sophistication, we increasingly focus on combining light and acoustics. Our range is constantly expanding to offer versatile solutions for modern interior design.
LULLABY
The Lullaby acoustic pendant luminaire is the result of a creative collaboration between PROLICHT and the renowned designer Marc Sadler. The luminaire combines timeless design with excellent acoustic performance, making it the ideal choice for large spaces. Its distinctive appearance is characterized by its elegant, organic shape and the use of high-quality materials. The Lullaby pendant luminaire is not only a visual highlight but also helps to improve room acoustics thanks to its acoustically effective elements.
JUST BLACK ACOUSTIC
The Just Black Acoustic product family stands for uncompromising design clarity and outstanding acoustic properties. The minimalist black track with flexible inserts blends harmoniously with the acoustic elements, which are available in both round and square versions. The luminaires are ideal for environments that require both optimum lighting quality and improved acoustics to create a balanced and pleasant indoor environment.
UNITY
The UNITY product family is characterised by its modular design, which allows it to be customised to suit a wide range of interior designs. With a wide range of specially designed optics, UNITY provides optimum lighting in different scenarios - from concentrated work areas to relaxing lounges. At the same time, its acoustically effective elements reduce disruptive noise, contributing to a pleasant and productive working environment.
ACOUSTIC
The Acoustic range is based on the popular GLORIOUS range, with the addition of acoustic elements. The collection includes round, triangular and rectangular acoustic panels, which have been integrated into the GLORIOUS luminaires as a stylish addition, combining light and sound comfort in one design. These panels are not only perfectly matched to the GLORIOUS range, but are also available as stand-alone elements - with or without indirect lighting.
OUR FIRST MODULAR SYSTEM FOR ACOUSTIC LIGHTING
UNITY is our first acoustic profile system. This acoustic product family now enjoys the same design freedom as our proven, flexible, customisable profile systems. The modules are seamlessly connected using modular elements such as Y, X, T, L and straight connectors to create unique nodes and light structures.
UNITY also features advanced acoustic and lighting technology. The acoustic technology reduces disturbing noise and creates a pleasant, quiet atmosphere, while the lighting technology provides perfect illumination.
COMPLETE ROOM SOLUTIONS WITH INNOVATIVE ACOUSTIC LUMINAIRES
Spaces should inspire, provide comfort and respect the environment. Our innovative acoustic luminaires meet all these requirements in one product. At the same time, we use sustainable materials and environmentally friendly production processes to provide future-proof solutions for modern interior design. Our acoustic luminaires can be customised to meet the specific requirements of your project. We take the combination of functionality, design and sustainability to a new level.
MORE THAN JUST LIGHTING
Acoustic luminaires are much more than just conventional luminaires. They combine lighting design with acoustically effective materials that absorb sound and improve room acoustics. Poor room acoustics can quickly become a real problem, especially in open-plan offices, conference rooms or restaurants where many people are talking at the same time and background noise dominates. Conversations overlap, voices echo and important information is lost in the noise. The result: poor concentration, increased stress levels, reduced efficiency in the workplace and discomfort and a poor guest experience in hospitality areas. This is where our acoustic luminaires come in, absorbing sound and reducing reverberation. They create a more pleasant acoustic environment, allowing people to concentrate better, communicate more clearly and hold conversations without strain. At the same time, they contribute to a relaxed atmosphere in which people can work more productively and feel more comfortable.
COLOURS MAKE A DIFFERENCE
We are convinced that a colour scheme tailored to the conditions of the room contributes to our well-being. That is why both the acoustic materials of the ARCHISONIC® collection and the electronic components of PROLICHT are available in a wide range of colours. Since creativity knows no bounds, we can also manufacture your luminaires in the colour of your choice, should you not be able to find what you are looking for.
ELEMENTAL BLUES
We had to pay tribute to our blue planet with a collection of sea- and sky-inspired hues. As our air and water quality are increasingly under threat, the appeal of nature’s blues becomes stronger. With the power to calm or energise, the lure of the open water and endless skies is precious and eternal. These blues work perfectly both as familiar single hues and in effortless tonal layers to create an immersive environment for focus or restoration.
ELEGANT DARKS
While color can create a mood, it is the depth or lightness of a hue that truly defines the emotion. Luxury will forever be synonymous with the most pigmented hues, and with an almost velvety aesthetic, these are contemporary shades that enhance polished woods and metals and after-dark venues. While each hue has the strength to stand alone, beautiful effects can be achieved with harmonised pairs.
LIVING GREENS
Our green color preferences are informed by our geography, and with these four hues we aim to capture the essence of greens around the globe. From the cool greens of Nordic pine forests to the yellowed aspect of young wheat, we see Living Greens breathing life into indoor spaces, and an essential palette for the future. Use in tonal layers brings the depth and diversity of green, while a single note can provide an amplifying backdrop to a biophilic space.
ENERGETIC BRIGHTS
With each color family represented from yellow through to both color accents and the zoning and wayfinding of larger areas. There are no rules here with endless possibilities for clashing contrasts or surprising highlights. For a sophisticated use of energetic color, take a single hue and color match contrasting textiles and solid surfaces.
PRIMARY PLAY
Their beauty lies in their simplicity, and in combination with their childhood familiarity, the addition of almost black and white brings a cool graphic touch. While corporate branding and commeRcial space zoning are natural outcomes for individual primary brights, we see directional applications increasing in importance. The primary story happens when all three main colors are used together, with varied proportions creating differing moods. As with the Energetic Brights palette, combine with coordinating colored textiles and solid surfaces.
QUIET NEUTRALS
In the ephemeral wisp of smoke from a log fire, the slowly shifting clouds above a mountain or a raindrop on a window there’s a sense of gentle motion that soothes the senses. We enhanced these elemental concepts with colors inspired by gentle wildlife. These shades work in harmony with natural textural materials and soften industrial environments. From light to dark and cool to warm, these are the foundations of any scheme where longevity and a mood of calm is desired.
WARM NATURALS
The greatest comfort is often to be found in nature, both in its awe-inspiring grandiosity and its simple beauty. From the rich red of rugged canyons to the soft pink of delicate shells we gathered the perfect hues to create a color mood to comfort, cocoon and protect. Combinations of lighter toned neutrals and pinks have a gently soothing and restorative effect while the more saturated hues make perfect environments for relaxation.
SOOTHING PASTELS
This directional color collection is curated from our core palettes of Elemental Blues, Living Greens and Warm Naturals. Combined with shades from the Quiet Neutrals collection and natural materials, these colors take on a timeless quality. With tonal duos of pink and blue and green, this perfectly balanced group is designed for peaceful plays on light and shade and playful contrast. While the lightest tones have a dreamlike quality, their deeper counterparts add a subtle grounding.
Because creativity knows no bounds, we can also make your lights in your desired color if you can't find the right one in the selection.
THE PRODUCTION
Since 2023, we at PROLICHT have had a machine that allows us to precisely process and cut the acoustic material directly in our production facility in Götzens, Austria. This allows us to respond more quickly and efficiently to individual customer requests and to develop bespoke solutions that are perfectly tailored to meet individual requirements.
We know that every project is unique. That's why we offer a range of customisable designs that blend seamlessly with the architecture. Minimalist or bold, round or square, our acoustic luminaires are designed with aesthetics and functionality in mind. Whether for offices, hotels, restaurants or public spaces, our team of experts will guide you from design to installation, making sure your project shines in new light and sound.
