Details
FABRICore acoustic light fixtures are a modular, large format way to illuminate spaces with true-to-color light while keeping noise levels under control. Use a singular fixture or group multiples together and add the highest quality of light to your space at a truly budget-friendly price.
Each FABRICore fixture replaces the equivalent of 4 typical (24” x 24”) fixtures, reducing installation time and cost. Learn how to install FABRICore with this quick installation guide video.
Due to their size, deliveries of 3 or more Cooledge fixtures will arrive on shipping pallets. You can place a note on your order during checkout for special delivery instructions.
Light color is rated for warmth or coolness using values measured in degrees Kelvin. Lower numbers indicate warmer colors and higher numbers are used for cooler colors.
The method of installation will depend on the model you have selected based on the mounting type. Kanopi offers installation services as part of our full solution.
In general, FABRICore light fixtures require little or no maintenance; however, if there is a need to handle or clean the luminaires there are some easy steps available to do so.
Traditional light fixtures are generally smaller and have no ability to reduce noise.
The large size of FABRICore fixtures provide a more natural type of lighting and also allows them to be excellent sound absorbers to reduce the ambient noise in your space.
LED lights don’t “burn out” like traditional incandescent or fluorescent lights.
They have a “useful life” that depends on where they are being used. LEDs slowly (very slowly) fade over a long period time until there not enough light coming out of them to properly illuminate the space.
FABRICore fixtures are rated to have 80% of the original amount of light after 75,000 hours of operation (“L80 = 75,000hr”). This means that if they are on for 12 hours per day, they will still be providing about 8000 lumens of light after 17 years.
Traditional light fixtures DON’T absorb sound. That’s what makes FABRICore unique! The fixtures are made with special sound absorbing materials that capture sound waves and prevent them from being reflected back into the room as noise. Just as importantly, their large size is the key to providing enough surface area for the sound to reach these materials. FABRICore has been tested by a world-renowned acoustics laboratory and found to be highly effective at reducing noise – the suspended model has an NRC rating of 1.0 where 0 means no sound absorption and 1.0 is the best possible absorption.
That depends on what we mean by a “normal light” but one of the biggest reasons to choose an LED-based light fixture is to save energy. Compared to fluorescent lighting FABRICore fixtures will save a significant amount of energy and are comparable to other LED light fixtures used for general lighting.

A 300 percent increase in perceived ‘worker satisfaction’ was reported as a result of the reduction in noise levels.
It was noticeably quieter right away. It made the space feel more solid and less like a tin box. The panels blend in so well, they look like they have always been there rather than being a simple retrofit.

Tiles with Square Lay-In are the easiest to install, but the visual effect of tegular, vector, or tongue & groove are interesting and appealing to many people.
The combination of grid size and edge profile will affect the visual appearance and ease of installation of your suspended ceiling.
Square Lay-in design hangs directly on the suspended ceiling grid.
Flush Tegular design hangs flush with the ceiling grid to create a smooth surface.
Square Tegular design hangs 1/4” below the grid, so the ceiling looks like a field of protruding squares.
Vector design creates a clean, grid-hiding visual effect.
Beveled Tegular design has rounded corners on the hanging tiles to create a softer look.
Tongue & Groove design provides a seamless, uninterrupted, grid-less look.
Angled Tegular design has angled corners on the hanging tiles to create a softer look.
The Grid are the lines you can see between the ceiling tiles.
The standard width is 15/16" wide metal frame around each tile – about the same size as the diameter of a Quarter. A narrower version, 9/16”, is also common.
Light fixture size
One FABRICore light fixture is 48" x 48", which is the same area as 4 traditional 24" x 24" light panels. This means it fits into a standard drop ceiling grid and you only pay to have 1 light installed instead of 4 - a nice cost savings!
