ABSTRACT:
An acoustical-reflective ceiling panel for directing incident light from a remotely positioned light source toward a selected area and for attenuating ambient noise. The panel includes a plurality of pyramidal reflector units arranged in an array of rows and columns and a plurality of acoustical holes which trap the ambient noise to thereby reduce the noise level in the vicinity of the panel. The pyramidal reflector units each have reflective surfaces facing in different directions and are located in staggered rows in which the pyramidal reflector units in alternate rows form the columns. Light emitted from a light source positioned laterally with respect to the pyramidal reflector units is reflected off those reflective surfaces that face the light source onto the selected surface area.
