Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a lighting system including a luminaire having a lighting device and a sound reduction device. The lighting device includes an illumination output surface, which is at least partially reflective with respect to an audio wave from outside the luminaire. The lighting device also includes an illumination light source configured to generate illumination light for emission through the illumination output surface for illumination of an area. The sound reduction device includes a pick up microphone and an audio output source. The pick up microphone is configured to detect incoming audio waves in a vicinity of the luminaire. The lighting system further includes a circuitry including a sound reduction controller coupled to the pick up microphone and the audio output source of the sound reduction device. The sound reduction controller is configured to operate the audio output source to control sound at least in vicinity of the illuminated area associated with the incoming audio waves.

Claim (Index 1):
A system, comprising:\n (I) a luminaire, including:\n (A) a lighting device including:\n (i) an illumination light output surface, the illumination light output surface being at least partially reflective with respect to an audio wave from outside the luminaire; and \n (ii) a source of an illumination light configured to generate illumination light for emission through the illumination output surface for illumination of an area; \n \n (B) a sound reduction device including:\n (i) a pick up microphone configured to detect incoming audio waves in vicinity of the luminaire; \n (ii) an audio output source comprising a diaphragm; \n (iii) a number of actuators coupled to the diaphragm; and \n \n (II) circuitry coupled to the sound reduction device, the circuitry including a sound reduction controller coupled to the pick up microphone and the audio output source, wherein the sound reduction controller is configured to operate the number of actuators of the audio output source to actuate the diaphragm to output controlled sound in response to incoming audio waves detected by the microphone, to control sound at least in vicinity of the illuminated area associated with the incoming audio waves; and wherein the number of actuators is determined based on a target audio frequency range, and each actuator among the number of actuators is positioned with respect to another actuator among the number of actuators based on the target audio frequency range.
