Collection: Maxim Ceiling Lights

Maxim Lighting offers a one (1) year warranty on standard ceiling fixtures. However, if the fixture includes integrated LED components, those specific parts are warranted for five (5) years in residential use. For commercial applications, the LED warranty is three (3) years. Full details can be found on the Maxim Lighting Warranty Page.

A flush mount sits directly against the ceiling with no gap, making it the best choice for low ceilings (less than 8 feet) to maximize clearance. A semi-flush mount hangs down slightly (usually 4-8 inches), creating a gap between the fixture and the ceiling. This decorative gap allows for uplighting and makes the fixture a more prominent design feature.

Yes, most Maxim LED ceiling lights are dimmable. However, they typically require a specific type of dimmer called an ELV (Electronic Low Voltage) or Triac dimmer to function correctly without flickering. Always check the product specifications for the compatible dimmer list.

Yes, provided the fixture is Damp Rated. Damp-rated fixtures are sealed to protect against moisture and humidity, making them safe for bathrooms and laundry rooms. If the fixture is installed directly over a shower or tub where it might get splashed, you must use a Wet Rated fixture.

Brightness is measured in lumens. For a small room or hallway, a fixture with 1000-1500 lumens is usually sufficient. For larger rooms like a kitchen or living area, look for Maxim ceiling lights with 2000 lumens or more. Many Maxim fixtures offer high lumen output in very compact designs.

No. Integrated LED fixtures have the light source built into the unit. These LEDs are designed to last for up to 50,000 hours (many years of use). Once the LEDs eventually reach the end of their life, the entire fixture is typically replaced, but the long lifespan makes this a rare occurrence.

Standard flush mounts are generally designed for flat ceilings. However, some Maxim semi-flush fixtures with a stem design may have a swivel canopy that allows for installation on a slope. Always check the specific installation instructions for the product.

Most residential Maxim ceiling lights come in 3000K (warm white), which is standard for living spaces. For task-oriented areas like kitchens, closets, or garages, you might prefer 4000K (cool white) for better visibility. Some Maxim fixtures feature "Color Selectable" technology, allowing you to switch between temperatures during installation.

Turn off the light and let it cool. Wipe the diffuser or shade with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. If the diffuser is removable (often glass or acrylic), you can take it down and wash it with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinstalling.

Absolutely. Low profile lighting is excellent for closets because it maximizes vertical storage space and ensures items on high shelves don't come into contact with a hot light bulb. Maxim’s "Wafer" and "Sky" series are popular choices for this application.
