The Bluff House is a private residence designed to embrace natural textures and panoramic views, featuring warm wooden interiors and a modern architectural aesthetic. In the dining room, Belfer Lighting’s WS7230 Double WedgeLens LED Wall Sconces in a Titanium Powder Coat finish were selected to complement the wood-paneled walls while creating elegant, balanced illumination.
The WS7230 Double WedgeLens Wall Sconce was chosen for its high-performance illumination and light distribution, enhancing both the wooden surfaces and the ceiling planes in the dining room. The Titanium Powder Coat finish adds a sleek, modern touch that contrasts beautifully with the natural wood tones.

At the Algoma Retreat House, a serene, nature-immersed residence perched above a wooded bluff in Wisconsin, Belfer’s WS7215 WedgeLens wall sconce was selected to illuminate a bedroom surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. The fixture complements the room’s minimalist architecture and natural palette, providing ambient evening light without interrupting views of the surrounding forest.
This project is a case study in how quiet architectural lighting can support restorative environments without visual distraction.
The Belfer WS7215 WedgeLens LED wall sconce was installed on the outside walls to create soft, upward-angled illumination, perfect for relaxing and reading in the evening hours. Its compact wedge form factor and concealed optics allow it to disappear during the day, while offering just the right glow after sunset.

Light Source: 2700K warm white LED
Dimming: ELV1 compatible
Finish: White Powder Coat to blend with interior palette
Design: Wedge-shaped body with angled lens for indirect illumination
The design goal for this bedroom was maximum openness to nature while maintaining warmth and function inside. The WS7215 WedgeLens fixture offered the perfect solution: unobtrusive form, soft uplight, and energy-efficient performance.
With expansive glass walls on three sides of the room, traditional ceiling or pendant lighting would obstruct the view or feel overly technical. The low-profile wall sconces keep the space feeling open, peaceful, and architecturally cohesive.

The WS7215 WedgeLens sconces bring quiet elegance to this secluded bedroom retreat. At Algoma Retreat House, lighting becomes part of the landscape—discreetly highlighting the warmth of the wood interior and offering restful illumination after dark, all without distracting from the surrounding views of forest and sky.
