Maxim Lighting FAQs

Maxim Lighting is a decorative lighting manufacturer founded in 1970 and based in City of Industry, California. It is known for a broad range of residential and hospitality styles, coordinating collections, Vivex outdoor fixtures, and CounterMax under cabinet lighting. ET2 and Studio M are its sister brands.

PROLIGHTING carries Maxim pendants, chandeliers, bath and vanity lights, wall sconces, flush and semi flush ceiling lights, LED surface mounts, outdoor wall lanterns, post and pier lights, landscape and step lights, ceiling fans, fandeliers, CounterMax under cabinet fixtures, lighted power strips, and coordinating accessories.

Maxim Lighting International is a family business, founded by Jacob Sperling in 1970 and now run by the second generation of the family. Design and operations are based in City of Industry, California, and the company has sourced through its own China office since 1992. Production varies by collection.

The common rule is roughly 75% of the mirror width for a bar mounted above the mirror, so a 48 inch mirror pairs well with a fixture around 36 inches. For wide mirrors and double vanities, use two sconces flanking the mirror or one fixture centered over each sink.

A bar above the mirror usually sits with its center 75 to 80 inches from the floor, about 3 inches above the top of the mirror. Sconces beside the mirror work best at roughly eye level, 60 to 66 inches from the floor, spaced just outside the mirror edges.

A flush mount sits tight against the ceiling, which suits ceilings under about 8 feet, hallways, and closets. A semi flush hangs a few inches below the ceiling on a short stem, so light spreads upward as well as down and the fixture reads as more decorative.

For a room, add the length and width in feet and use that number in inches as a starting diameter, so a 12 by 14 foot room suits a fixture near 26 inches. Over a dining table, aim for half to two thirds of the table width and hang it 30 to 36 inches above the top.

It varies by model. Integrated LED fixtures have a built in light source and often call for a specific dimmer, while socket fixtures list the base type and maximum wattage and may ship without bulbs. Maxim publishes dimmer compatibility by series, including the CounterMax lines, so check before pairing a dimmer.

Check the rating first: wet rated fixtures handle direct rain, damp rated fixtures belong under cover, and indoor fixtures should not go outside at all. Maxim VX collections are molded from Vivex, a marble and latex composite that is non corrosive and UV resistant and tested from -20°F to 130°F.

Match blade span to the room: around 42 inches for a small bedroom, 52 inches for a typical living room, and 60 inches or more for a large space. Blades should sit 8 to 9 feet above the floor, so tall or sloped ceilings need a longer downrod, ordered separately.
