Abstract
An acoustical and illumination baffle for suspension in a ceiling area comprising a housing and a light strip in the housing, the housing being an elongated sheet metal hollow body with opposed sidewalls and a bottom wall, at least a portion of the sidewalls and/or the bottom wall having perforations, a visible light emitting strip within the housing and extending along a major part of the length of the housing and extending a major part of a length of the housing, the light emitting strip being arranged to radiate visible light through an open area in a wall of the housing thereby illuminate an area below the housing, the perforations serving to reduce noise existing in the area below the baffle and to allow cooling air circulation through the housing.
