Reflex Integrated Wall Wash LED Fixture in library of Sangren Hall at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo MI

Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo was hoping to renovate its out-of-date Sangren Hall, but instead built a larger, more efficient and greener version. Designed by SHW Group to achieve LEED Gold certification, Sangren Hall is a powerhouse for education with a green roof, lots of energy efficiency strategies and a photovoltaic system to provide for some of its demand. The 230,000-square-foot, four-story facility features 50 classrooms with 2,435 instructional seats, two 200-seat auditoriums, an education library, a grants and research center, offices and clinical space. Located at the heart of campus, almost every student passes through its doors at some point during the year and welcoming cafe and event space makes it a great place to meet up for study or socializing.

Sangren Hall literally sits in the center of the campus and also serves as the heart which all students and faculty can enjoy.

Private Residence Jackson, WY Home

Private Residence, Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Project Overview

Nestled in the dramatic landscape of Jackson Hole, WY, this custom private residence blends rustic architecture with refined modern interiors. The design team sought a lighting solution that would enhance the home’s warm materials and soaring ceilings while maintaining a minimalist visual footprint. Belfer’s RX1320 Reflex LED recessed indirect lighting was selected to provide ambient, glare-free illumination in the entryway, living room, and study—areas where light needed to feel both architectural and atmospheric.


Lighting Solution

The RX1320 Reflex LED fixture is a precision-engineered recessed indirect lighting system that utilizes concealed optics to reflect light upward and outward. It was installed in custom ceiling coves and architectural slots to softly illuminate walls and ceilings, adding warmth and dimension to the home’s open-plan interiors.

Fixture Specifications:

  • Model: RX1320 Reflex LED Recessed Indirect Lighting

  • Mounting: Recessed into drywall

  • Distribution: Indirect uplight via internal reflector system

  • Finish: Aluminum housing with precision louvers
  • Applications: Cove, perimeter, and architectural slot lighting


Design Intent

With sweeping views of the Tetons and interiors featuring exposed timber, stone, and glass, the home’s lighting design required fixtures that would enhance natural textures without introducing visual noise. The RX1320’s clean linear profile and indirect performance made it the ideal choice for key living and work spaces.


Installation Highlights

  • Seamlessly integrated to highlight custom ceiling detailing

  • Delivered balanced ambient light with no visible source

  • Eliminated ceiling clutter while preserving architectural intent

  • Dimming integrated with smart lighting controls for flexible mood settings

  • Designed for long life, low maintenance, and energy efficiency in high-altitude environments


Results

The RX1320 Reflex LED installation in this Jackson Hole residence proves that lighting can be both invisible and essential. The result is a home filled with warm, even light that highlights form, material, and space—supporting the architectural narrative from entry to retreat. Design continuity at its finest!
