Collection: Maxim Lighting Chandeliers

Maxim Lighting provides a one (1) year warranty on standard chandelier fixtures covering defects in materials and workmanship. However, if you purchase a chandelier with integrated LED components, those specific components are warranted for five (5) years in residential applications. For full details, please refer to the Maxim Lighting Warranty Page.

A general rule is to choose a chandelier with a diameter that is one-half to two-thirds the width of your dining table. Alternatively, add the length and width of the room in feet (e.g., 10' + 12' = 22); the sum in inches (22") is a good estimated diameter for the fixture.

Over a dining table, the bottom of the chandelier should sit approximately 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. In an open room or foyer, the bottom of the fixture should be at least 7 feet from the floor to ensure clearance. For higher ceilings, add about 3 inches of hanging height for every additional foot of ceiling height.

A linear chandelier is the ideal choice for rectangular dining tables or kitchen islands. Its elongated shape mirrors the furniture below, providing balanced lighting coverage that a round fixture might miss. It also creates a structured, modern look perfect for open-concept spaces.

Yes, most Maxim chandeliers are dimmable. Fixtures with standard sockets (candelabra or medium base) can be dimmed using compatible bulbs and a standard dimmer. For integrated LED chandeliers, check the product specifications to ensure you use a compatible ELV (Electronic Low Voltage) or Triac dimmer for smooth operation.

Many Maxim chandeliers are designed with this in mind. Fixtures that hang by chain or cable are naturally compatible with sloped ceilings. For stem-hung fixtures, check if the product includes a swivel canopy (often called a slope adapter) which allows the stem to hang straight down even on an angled ceiling.

If your chosen Maxim Lighting chandelier weighs more than 50 pounds, you will need a heavy-duty support box (fan brace box) or additional structural support in the ceiling independent of the junction box. Always check the fixture's weight in the specifications before installation.

Absolutely. Most traditional Maxim fixtures use standard E12 (candelabra) or E26 (medium) sockets. You can use LED bulbs in these sockets to save energy and reduce heat, which is especially beneficial for multi-light crystal chandeliers. Just ensure the bulb base matches the socket size.

To maintain sparkle, dust the chandelier regularly with a feather duster or microfiber cloth. For a deeper clean, use a solution of mild soap and water or a specialized crystal cleaner. Apply the cleaner to a cloth (never spray directly on the fixture) and gently wipe each crystal.

Yes, Maxim designs their products in collections. If you find a chandelier you love, there are likely matching Maxim wall sconces, vanity lights, or pendants in the same "family." This makes it easy to create a cohesive lighting design throughout your home.
