Balboa VX 1-Light Golden Frost Glass Outdoor Wall Light, 9.5 to 17.5 in tall, Copper Oxide, by Maxim

The Maxim Balboa VX outdoor wall light is a transitional fixture for an entry door, a garage front, a patio wall or a side gate. It is 9.5 to 17.5 in tall and 6.5 to 12 in wide, reaching 14 in from the wall, with 1 light, in Copper Oxide.

Fit one E26 Medium bulb (60W limit per socket); buy them separately. For an entry, a 2700K to 3000K LED lamp reads warm and keeps glare off the street. A wet-location listing means rain and sprinkler spray will not harm it. Golden Frost glass softens the light and hides the bulb from the street. The Copper Oxide finish suits Transitional, Traditional and Craftsman exteriors.

Where it works best

Scale guide for an 80 in entry door: a lone lantern should measure 20 to 27 in, or 25 to 33 percent of the door height; two flanking the door can drop to 16 to 22 in each. Put the fixture's center roughly 66 in over the threshold, a touch higher than eye level. For a garage front, use one centered between bays or a pair per door at 6 to 7 ft.

Who this is not for

Bulbs are sold separately. It is a hardwired fixture, so it needs an outdoor-rated junction box; it does not plug in.

Why we carry Maxim

Maxim matches its finishes across collections, so a chandelier, its pendants and its sconces read as one scheme. That is how we build a room around one fixture.

Care and installation

Rinse off salt, pollen and cobwebs a few times a year and wipe with a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners on the finish. Have a licensed electrician wire it. Assembly sheets: 40162 (PDF), 40163 (PDF), 40164 (PDF), 40165 (PDF).
