Project Overview

At 7 West 21st Street, a luxury residential building in Manhattan’s Flatiron District, Belfer Lighting provided custom LED step lighting for a private outdoor balcony terrace. The client requested a discreet, durable lighting solution to ensure safe nighttime use, while complementing the clean, modern aesthetic of the space.

Installed on a multi-level private terrace, Belfer's LED step lights offer both function and visual appeal, enhancing the outdoor environment with soft, low-glare illumination.

Lighting Solution

Belfer’s architectural-grade step lighting fixtures were integrated into the vertical face of each terrace riser, creating a rhythm of soft light that ensures visibility without overpowering the space or interfering with the building’s sightlines.

Fixture Details:

• Type: Low-profile LED step light

• Color Temperature: 3000K white

• Material: Aluminum housing with corrosion-resistant finish

• Mounting: Flush-mount

• Dimming: Compatible with low-voltage and ELV dimming systems

• IP Rating: Outdoor-rated

Design Intent

The terrace at 7 West 21st Street blends wood decking, planters, and stonework in a minimal, high-end palette. The lighting was designed to be nearly invisible by day and softly functional by night, guiding movement between terrace levels and accenting the geometry of the architecture.

With no visible glare and a shielded light source, the LED step lights maintain visual comfort while promoting safety and ambiance for evening entertaining.

Installation Highlights

• Fixtures installed flush into concrete for seamless integration

• Long-lasting LED modules reduce maintenance in residential setting

• Perfect for urban terraces where lighting must be subtle and efficient

Results

The finished outdoor space at 7 West 21st Street is now a functional, beautifully lit terrace designed for both safety and serenity. Belfer’s LED step lighting solution elevates this private balcony with architectural clarity, warm ambiance, and long-lasting performance for all seasons.
