Maxim Lighting

Maxim Lighting is an American success story rooted in family, craft, and an uncompromising belief in quality. Founded in 1970 by Jacob Sperling — who began forging lighting fixtures in his California garage after immigrating from Europe in 1965 — the company grew from a station wagon operation into one of North America's most prolific lighting brands, with over 6,000 products spanning traditional, transitional, contemporary, and outdoor styles. Today, with his brother and the next generation continuing the legacy, Maxim remains a family-run company guided by a simple principle: treat customers and employees like family, and never settle for less than excellence. Their Wet-rated Seaborne collection is particularly renowned for coastal and outdoor applications. MetropolitanDecor.com carries Maxim Lighting as an authorized retailer.
