• a divider wall positioned to block a view of said desk from a person seated and/or standing on said floor and outside of said work space in which the lighting system is disposed, wherein the divider wall comprises at least one acoustic panel including:
• one or more elongated cavities, wherein each cavity of the one or more elongated cavities has a first cavity wall, a second cavity wall, a cavity opening between the first cavity wall and the second cavity wall, and a cavity back end, wherein the cavity back end opposes said opening, the cavity back end is disposed farther from said opening than said first cavity wall and the cavity back end is disposed farther from said opening than said second cavity wall,
• wherein at least one given cavity of the one or more elongated cavities accommodates a light source having a light exit surface, wherein the light source is configured to provide light source light emanating from the cavity opening of the at least one given cavity and the light source is disposed at the cavity back end of the at least one given cavity,
• wherein the first cavity wall or the second cavity wall hide the light exit surface of the light source when the acoustic panel is viewed along a normal to the acoustic panel, and wherein the acoustic panel further comprises sound reducing material.
