Within commercial interiors, the quality of room acoustics is equally important as the quality of light. Eagle Lighting has created a product that perfects both in a single package...

Meet the Silencio: Arin - a modern suspended pendant made in Melbourne that offers best-in-class lighting and acoustic performance.

APPLICATION

A unique pendant that supports visual and acoustic optimisation in a single package. Designed, tested and manufactured in Australia, Arin advances lighting performance while simultaneously reducing acoustic reverberation.

Commercial Office

Open-plan offices are here to stay; they do, however, result in compromised acoustics. Equally, tenancy fit-outs with exposed services and high ceiling voids do not use traditional acoustic ceiling tiles. Increased audio-visual meeting spaces are the new normal. This all necessitates a reframed design around compliance with lighting and acoustic standards. The value of Arin comes to the fore in these applications.

Education

Within the education sector, it’s fundamentally important to provide learning spaces that account for concentration and effortless speech intelligibility between teachers and students. To provide high acoustic comfort, rooms must have suitable reverberation times and appropriate control of sound propagation at all the frequencies in speech. A suspended acoustic luminaire solves this problem. Ideal applications would include classrooms, music rooms, reading spaces and libraries.

DESIGN

Arin is available in a wide selection of on-point colours to complement architectural interior intent, offering creative expression by using colour accents. As with light and acoustics, colour subconsciously induces biological reactions and influences mood, emotion, and behaviour.

Arin incorporates a noise-absorbing recycled fibre that forms the surrounding component of a central linear array of light chambers.

SOUND ABSORPTION

Acoustic conditions profoundly impact human performance and are particularly important for complex cognitive performance and productivity. As a result, acoustic comfort is a key deliverable in commercial office and education projects.

Arin is engineered and scientifically tested to control reverberated noise and echo. Within the range relevant to communication (1000-2000 Hz), the noise absorption benefits of the Arin are at peak performance.

OPTICS

Arin provides premium quality, low glare illumination, with high colour rendering accuracy and options for colour changing and personalised lighting scenes.

A central array of high specification ABS injection moulded chambers and beam shaping microstructured film combine to provide optimum luminescence.

CONTROLS

Optional Organic Response Sensor Nodes integral to the pendant that respond to ambient light level and occupancy, pre-set lighting scenes and tuneable white light.

INSTALLATION

Fast installation via wire pendant package. Height adjustment via friction lock in the luminaire.

Cable entry via knockout in the top plate to access terminal block. Supplied 5 core power cable in clear colour, one small ceiling cup, one large in either black or white.

CONTROL OPTIONS

The below controls options are available as standard. Further customisation is possible.
