The Design Story

Calistoga is a die cast aluminum lantern in an earthy Adobe finish, with an integral hood and a Satin White conical shade that send light downward. The shape is modern and uncluttered. Wall and post versions are rated for wet locations, so they work at an entry, along a driveway or beside a garden path without throwing light up into the sky.

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. Materials: die cast aluminum, glass.

Putting It Together

Maxim posts an assembly sheet for each size: 7 x 10 in (PDF), 9 x 12.5 in (PDF) and 10.25 x 15.5 in (PDF). Outdoor fixtures need a weatherproof junction box and a GFCI-protected circuit, so we recommend a qualified electrician for the install.
