The Design Story

Lightray LED lights a building by grazing its surfaces, with up and down sconces and a flush mount in Architectural Bronze, Black or White. The indirect light shapes the architecture itself and keeps the source out of sight. Dark Sky compliant, it fits modern entries, porch columns and exterior walls, under damp or wet ratings.

Why You’ll Love It

An integrated LED does the work, so there are no bulbs to change; it puts out 279 to 1080 lumens. The light is a 3000K white (other color temperatures offered as options). Maxim rates it for ELV or Triac CL dimming. Materials: aluminum + glass.

Putting It Together

Maxim posts an assembly sheet for each size: 4 x 4 in, outlet 2 in from top (PDF), 5 x 13.25 in (PDF), 6.75 x 7 in (PDF), 4 x 4 in, outlet 2.5 in from top (PDF), 5.75 x 13.75 in (PDF), 5 x 17.25 in (PDF), 6.25 x 20 in (PDF) and 5 x 15.75 in (PDF). Outdoor fixtures need a weatherproof junction box and a GFCI-protected circuit, so we recommend a qualified electrician for the install.
