Project Overview

The University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center in Ann Arbor is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to ophthalmic care and research. For the receptionist area, Belfer Lighting supplied RX1320 recessed LED indirect fixtures to create a welcoming, glare-free environment that balances modern design with the needs of healthcare spaces.

Lighting Solution

The RX1320 Recessed Indirect Lighting system was specified for its high-quality light distribution, energy efficiency, and seamless architectural integration. Installed in the ceiling above the reception desk, the fixtures provide soft, ambient illumination that ensures both patient comfort and staff visibility.

Fixture Specifications:

  • Model: RX1320 LED Recessed Indirect Fixture

  • Light Source: Linear LED, 3000K neutral white

  • Dimming: 0–10V dimmable control for flexible light levels

  • Application: Ambient and architectural lighting for healthcare facilities

  • Design: Recessed housing for clean, minimal appearance

  • Performance: High-efficiency LED modules with long life and low maintenance

Design Intent

The lighting design focused on creating a calming and professional atmosphere for patients and visitors entering the Kellogg Eye Center. By using indirect lighting from the RX1320 fixtures, the reception area is illuminated without harsh glare, which is particularly important in an eye care facility where patients may have light sensitivities.

Installation Highlights

  • RX1320 fixtures integrated into ceiling recesses for an elegant, floating ceiling effect

  • Uniform light distribution improves visual comfort and aesthetics

  • Dimming controls allow for adjustable brightness during different times of day

  • Energy-efficient LED design aligns with sustainability goals of the facility

Results

The RX1320 recessed indirect lighting has transformed the Kellogg Eye Center’s reception area into a bright yet soothing environment. Patients and staff benefit from improved visibility and a visually comfortable space that complements the center’s high standards for care and design.
