Durham 1 to 2-Light White Glass Wall Sconce, 4.75 to 13.75 in, 4 Finishes, by Maxim

The Maxim Durham wall sconce is a transitional fixture for a hallway, a stairway, a living room wall or either side of a bed. It is 4.75 to 13.75 in wide and 9.25 to 13.25 in high and sits 5.5 to 6.5 in off the wall, with 1 to 2 lights, in Black, Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome or Natural Aged Brass.

It takes an E26 Medium bulb up to 60W. A 2700K to 3000K LED bulb keeps a hallway, living room or bedroom warm; 3500K reads crisper on a stairway. It installs with the light facing up or down: up for a soft wash on the wall, down for reading and walkway light. White glass softens the light and cuts glare at eye level. Choose Black, Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome or Natural Aged Brass to match door hardware, picture frames or a nearby ceiling fixture; it suits Transitional schemes.

Where it works best

In a hallway or living room, center each sconce at roughly eye level, about 5 ft 6 in (168 cm) up, with 8 to 10 ft between fixtures. Next to a bed, place it 2 to 2.5 ft over the mattress top so the light falls on a book. On a stairway, keep each sconce the same height above the treads. Either side of a bathroom mirror, mount them at about eye level, 36 to 40 in apart, for even light on the face.

Who this is not for

It projects 6.5 in, beyond the 4 in ADA limit, so it is not for a commercial corridor or a narrow public hall. It is damp rated, so a bathroom or covered porch is fine, but not a spot exposed to rain or shower spray. Bulbs are sold separately.

Why we carry Maxim

Maxim publishes full specifications, assembly sheets and dimension drawings for its fixtures, which lets us answer fit and installation questions precisely before you order.

Care and installation

Dust with a soft, dry cloth; clean glass with a lint-free cloth and glass cleaner, with the power off. Have a licensed electrician wire it. Assembly sheets: 12891 (PDF), 12691 (PDF), 12692 (PDF).

Frequently asked questions

What mounting height works for the Durham wall sconce?

Center it near eye level, about 5 ft 6 in (168 cm) up, in a hallway or living room; next to a bed, 2 to 2.5 ft over the mattress top.

Can it face up or down?

Yes. It installs with the light pointing up or down, so you can choose an upward wash or downward task light.

Is it ADA compliant?

No. At 5.5 to 6.5 in deep it goes beyond the 4 in ADA limit, so it is meant for homes and other spaces where ADA projection rules do not apply.

Does it need special bulbs, and can it dim?

It takes E26 Medium bulbs up to 60W, sold separately.

Can I use it in a bathroom?

Yes. It is damp rated for bathrooms; keep it out of direct shower spray.
