Wall Sconces in bedroom of private residence porch room

Project Overview

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.


Lighting Solution

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.

Fixture Specifications:

  • Model: WS7215 WedgeLens LED Wall Sconce

  • Light Source: 2700K warm white LED

  • Dimming: ELV1 compatible

  • Finish: White Powder Coat to blend with interior palette

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.


Installation Highlights

  • Fixtures mounted directly on interior wood-paneled walls

  • Light projected upward to softly graze the ceiling and diffuse into the space

  • Integrated with residential dimming system for adjustable mood lighting


Results

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.
