OET (OET-LV) And there_were many lamps in the upper_room, where we_were having_been_gathered_together.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἦσαν & λαμπάδες ἱκαναὶ ἐν τῷ ὑπερῴῳ, οὗ ἦμεν συνηγμένοι
˱there˲_were & lamps many in the upper_room where ˱we˲_were /having_been/_gathered_together
The implication seems to be that it became warm in this upper room because there were many lamps lit in it, and this helps account for why Eutychus fell asleep, as Luke describes in the next verse. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “it was warm in the upper room where we were gathered together because many lamps were in it”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
ὑπερῴῳ
upper_room
In this culture, in some houses, rooms were built above other rooms. According to the next verse, this room was actually built above a room that was built above another room. If your community does not have houses like that, you could use another expression to describe a large indoor space where people could meet. See how you translated this in 9:37.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἦμεν συνηγμένοι
˱we˲_were /having_been/_gathered_together
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “we had gathered together”
20:5-15 This is another of the “we” passages in Acts (see study note on 16:10). Luke apparently rejoined Paul at Philippi, where Luke had remained several years earlier, and journeyed with Paul to Jerusalem (21:1-18).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
