Noise and poor acoustics can lead to various health issues such as sleep disruption, heightened stress, and poor cognitive function. It also affects concentration and leads to poor communication. Noise is one of the main sources of complaints in the workplace. Equally, Light is fundamental to our health, wellbeing, and cognitive capabilities. It acts through our visual environment- our comfort and safety, helps us perform tasks, and allows effective communication. It supports our biological circadian rhythms that regulate the 24-hour body clock. Light complements architecture to create pleasing and beautiful spaces. Negative visual impacts, such as eyestrain and the effects of glare and flicker, can cause discomfort — but can also affect our health over some time.
Technicians of Light and Acoustic Comfort
Architectural FX has worked closely with light for over 2 decades and solved many complex lighting problems. So we’re well placed to champion the clever integration of acoustics with light. We bring the same dedication and expertise to this sector, including close collaboration with architects and other specifiers. And we bring great technical expertise -delivered with speed and accuracy.
We partner with 2 intelligent acoustic partners-allowing us to offer solutions for both metal rafts with integrated lighting and fabric rafts with integrated lighting. Both companies work closely with architects and designers. And both offer unique technical and aesthetic answers for delivering high-quality acoustics with integrated lighting.
