Lighting Fixtures & Lamps Questions Answered

I need to know about the wiring for this Maxim Lighting Craftsman Transitional Outdoor Wall Sconce - MX-4053-HO. Is the wall sconce connected to the backplate? How is the wiring connected to the lighting fixture itself? It appears from the picture that the lighting fixture is hanging onto the backplate by means of an arm with a hook. If that’s the case, I want to order. I need to be able to remove the lights from the backplate and still be functional.

Answer: Maxim Lighting (the manufacturer), has just confirmed that this outdoor wall sconce head itself can NOT be detached from the hook. The actual light fixture will have the wire going through its arm but is not shown in the picture.

I found this Quoizel Lighting Tiffany Traditional Wall Sconce - QZ-TF879Z on your website and I would like to order it. Then, I found out that you don´t deliver to Europe. Is there a specific reason and is there a way we can solve this problem? I can´t find this wall sconce and I like it very much.

Answer: We do not ship internationally because of the risk of fraudulent order. And also, for lighting fixtures, the damaged rate on the glass shades is very high.

We would recommend that you email Quoizel Lighting directly and see if they have a distributor in your country. http://www.quoizel.com/section4/index.asp

Does the bulb in Maxim Lighting Apollo Semi-Flush Ceiling Light - MX-2229-WH-GB sit lower in the fixture than it does in Maxim Lighting Maxim Wall Sconce - MX-20592? I know that the Apollo finish sconce - MX-2229-WH-GB is taller than MX-20592 - wall sconce, but I don’t know whether the bulb will actually sit lower inside the fixture. I ask because it will be mounted in a stairway landing and as we descend the stairs, we’d rather not see too much of the bulb exposed on the top of the wall sconce. We also really like Maxim Lighting Carthay Wall Sconce - MX-20441, but that looks like much of the bulb would be exposed when viewed from the top of a stairway.

Answer: MX-2229-WH-GB - semi flush mount ceiling light height is 16.5″ and uses 3 medium base bulbs 100W max each and is a ceiling light fixture. Model MX-20592 is a wall sconce and can be used on the wall. So, we do not think these two fixtures are comparable as their application is different. MX-20441 - Carthay Wall Sconce is about one inch shorter in height compared to MX-20592 - Maxim Wall Sconce which is 8″. Both fixtures use 2 60w max medium bulb. This is a regular bulb, you can use a candelabra bulb which has a nicer appearance than a regular bulb. We would not be too concerned about the bulb because bulbs come in so many shapes and sizes and can fit in either of the fixtures because of its medium base requirement, which is like a standard bulb.
