ABSTRACT:
A combination light fixture and acoustic conditioner assembly particularly useful in modular room enclosures wherein the ceiling is spaced above the enclosure walls. The invention provides for indirect lighting means and means for masking external sounds in the vicinity of the light fixture assembly. The assembly includes a reflector positioned so that light and sound waves contacting the reflector are dispersed in a plurality of directions due to the concavity of the reflector and undulations therein and eventually contact the ceiling where they are further reflected and spread. Dispersion of sound waves in this manner provides a pleasant, unintelligible sound which masks external sounds that might otherwise distract occupants of the modular room enclosures.
