Title: Method of Reducing Sound from Light Fixture with Stepper Motors 
Abstract:

A light fixture including a stepper motor comprising a stepper motor stator and a stepper motor rotor. The stepper motor rotor includes a stepper motor axle and is rotatable around a stepper motor axis. The stepper motor is connected to a movable object and is configured to move the movable object in relation to a reference point. A damping mass is attached to the stepper motor axle. The damping mass has a rotational inertia in relation to the stepper motor axis which is at least as large as the rotational inertia of the stepper motor rotor in relation to the stepper motor axis. A method of damping the sound generated by a light fixture comprising a step of attaching a damping mass to a stepper motor axle.
