Marimba 1-Light Wall Sconce, 8 in, Gunmetal or Natural Aged Brass, by Maxim

The Maxim Marimba wall sconce is a transitional fixture for a hallway, a stairway, a living room wall or either side of a bed. It is 8 in (20.3 cm) wide and 12 in (30.5 cm) high and sits 5 in (12.7 cm) off the wall, with 1 light, in Gunmetal 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. Maxim rates it for Triac or ELV (Phase Dim) dimming. Choose Gunmetal 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 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 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

Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Have a licensed electrician wire it. Assembly sheet: 22510 (PDF).

Frequently asked questions

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.

Is it ADA compliant?

No. At 5 in (12.7 cm) 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.
