<p>A sound absorbing light fixture (42) installed in a surface system, such as an elevator ceiling system (40), of an enclosed interior, such as the interior (32) of an elevator cab (32) is presented. The light fixture (42) comprises a frame (46) disposed in fixed relationship to the surface system, the frame (46) having an interior rear surface and interior side surfaces extending outwardly from the rear surface and interior side surfaces extending outwardly from the rear surface to define a cavity (50). A light source (48) is supported by the frame (46) within the cavity (50). Additionally, a light diffuser (44) is disposed in fixed relationship to a front portion of the frame (46) between the light source (48) and the enclosed interior. The installed light fixture (42) enhances a sound absorption coefficient, e.g., above 0.6, of the surface system for a predetermined frequency range of sound energy, e.g., 300-600 Hz.</p> |
