Maxim Lighting Bulwark Frosted Glass Outdoor Wall Light

Bulwark is an outdoor wall light from Maxim Lighting. It comes in 2 sizes: 10.5 x 5.75 in and 10.25 x 10.25 in. Frosted glass is paired with a choice of Black or White.

The Design Story

Bulwark is a bulkhead light made from high impact polycarbonate, chosen for a fixture that will not corrode near salt air. It comes in Black or White with frosted glass, and in an integrated LED or a standard socket version. Wet rated and Dark Sky friendly, it fits garages, side doors and utility walls where a practical, low maintenance light makes sense.

Why You’ll Love It

It takes E26 Medium bulbs up to 60W per socket, which makes it easy to choose your own color temperature and brightness. Dark Sky friendly versions are offered. Materials: polycarbonate.

Putting It Together

Maxim posts an assembly sheet for each size: 10.5 x 5.75 in (PDF) and 10.25 x 10.25 in (PDF). Outdoor fixtures need a weatherproof junction box and a GFCI-protected circuit, so we recommend a qualified electrician for the install.

Product Details

Where It Shines

Beside a front door or a garage door, along a side path or a back patio wall, and on a deck or balcony. Wall lights at the entry welcome guests, light the lock and house number, and give the front of the house a finished look after dark.

Beside a door, outdoor wall lights usually go with the center of the fixture about 66 in from the threshold, or a little above eye level, one on each side of the door or one on the latch side.
