NIH Porter Neuroscience Research Center Bethesda MD
NIH Porter Neuroscience Research Center, Bethesda MD
Project Overview
The Porter Neuroscience Research Center at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, is a cutting-edge facility designed to advance the study of brain science and foster cross-disciplinary collaboration. With a focus on transparency, openness, and modern design, the Center’s expansive lobby and open-plan public spaces serve as both a welcoming hub and a symbolic core of innovation.
To meet the challenges of high-ceiling architecture and the need for visually comfortable, energy-efficient lighting, Belfer Lighting’s Reflex RX1320 indirect LED system was specified and installed throughout these key areas.
The RX1320 indirect LED fixture by Belfer Lighting is engineered for architectural integration in spaces where light quality and visual comfort are paramount. At the NIH Porter Center, these fixtures were mounted in custom-designed columns to illuminate the expansive lobby and connecting atrium spaces.
The indirect distribution of the RX1320 provides a soft, diffuse glow ideal for large, open environments—reducing harsh contrasts and complementing the facility’s natural daylighting strategies.
Lighting Objectives
-
Deliver uniform ambient lighting across large open volumes
-
Minimize glare and shadows in high-ceiling spaces
-
Enhance architectural features with clean, modern lighting
-
Support visual comfort for researchers, staff, and visitors
-
Provide energy-efficient performance for a federally managed facility

Private Residence, Bouyea Assoc
Private Residence, Dallas TX
Project Overview
This private Dallas residence by Bouyea & Assoc. embraces expansive glass and vertical volume to bring nature indoors. The lighting strategy pairs LED wall sconce lighting with a durable black powder coat finish to complement natural materials and high-contrast architectural lines.
- Energy‑efficient integrated LED with smooth ELV1 dimming
- Indirect illumination to soften vertical surfaces and enhance depth
- Refined wedge profile suited to circulation zones and high ceilings
- Works harmoniously with glass windows that open the home to nature
Wedge Wall Sconces provide presence with minimal visual clutter. The indirect wash lifts the eye and reduces glare—especially valuable in rooms with high ceilings and daylit glass walls. The black powder coat finish delivers a crisp edge that frames natural stone and wood, reinforcing the modern mountain aesthetic.
