Maxim Lighting Canada – Quality American Lighting Since 1970
Maxim Lighting has been producing quality decorative lighting since 1970, building one of the most comprehensive catalogs in the mid-market lighting category. Their collection spans chandeliers, pendants, wall sconces, flush mounts, bath vanity lights, outdoor fixtures, ceiling fans, and security lighting across a broad range of styles — from traditional and transitional to coastal, farmhouse, and contemporary. Maxim’s defining advantage is consistency: dependable finish quality across collections, reliable in-stock availability, and a broad enough style range that a single Maxim finish family can often coordinate fixtures across multiple rooms of a home renovation. For their contemporary and LED-focused line, see our ET2 Lighting collection.
Montreal Lighting & Hardware carries a curated selection of Maxim Lighting, available online and at our showroom in Mount-Royal, Quebec. All products are priced in Canadian dollars with free shipping on orders over $199 CAD.
Maxim Chandeliers, Pendants, Sconces & Outdoor Lighting
Chandeliers & Pendants
Maxim chandeliers and pendants span traditional shaded drum forms, coastal and farmhouse-influenced lanterns, contemporary geometric fixtures, and crystal-accented designs across their finish families. Their multi-light pendant range is particularly strong for kitchen islands and dining rooms — seeded glass cylinders, drum shades, and globe clusters in brushed nickel, aged bronze, and matte black at accessible price points. Browse our full chandeliers and pendant lighting collections.
Wall Sconces & Vanity Lights
Maxim wall sconces and bath vanity bars cover the full finish and style spectrum from traditional single-globe sconces to contemporary LED linear bars.

Maxim Lighting FAQs
What styles does Maxim Lighting offer?
Maxim spans traditional, transitional, coastal, farmhouse, and contemporary styles — one of the broadest style ranges of any mid-market lighting brand. Their finish families coordinate across fixture types, making whole-home lighting coordination straightforward from a single brand without sacrificing style variety.
How does Maxim Lighting compare to Kichler and Generation Lighting?
All three are reliable mid-market brands at comparable price points and quality levels. Maxim tends to offer the broadest style variety and strong in-stock depth. Generation Lighting benefits from the Visual Comfort design pedigree and tends toward a more curated, design-forward catalog. Kichler has one of the strongest outdoor ranges and ceiling fan selections. The best choice depends on your specific style and project — our team can help you identify which brand’s catalog best suits your renovation.
Are Maxim outdoor fixtures suitable for Canadian winters?
Yes — Maxim’s outdoor collection carries Wet and Damp location ratings appropriate for Canadian exterior conditions. Powder-coated aluminum and die-cast constructions handle freeze-thaw cycles reliably. Verify the specific rating on the product spec sheet for your installation location — covered porch versus fully exposed wall.
Does Maxim Lighting offer smart-home compatible fixtures?
Select Maxim Smart products are compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit via their app or direct Wi-Fi connection. Compatibility varies by product — check individual product pages for specific smart home integration details. Some models require a hub; others connect directly to your Wi-Fi network.
Are Maxim Lighting fixtures dimmable?
Most Maxim LED fixtures are dimmable. Use a Lutron Diva or Caseta dimmer rated for LED loads for best performance. Always confirm the fixture and bulbs are both marked dimmable before purchasing a dimmer. Maxim publishes compatible dimmer recommendations on individual product spec sheets.

La philosophie de conception de la marque est centrée sur « une adaptabilité raffinée », mélangeant des silhouettes épurées avec des détails réfléchis pour créer des luminaires qui semblent actuels sans être trop directionnels. Les collections explorent souvent un mélange de finitions, des tons chauds du patrimoine comme le bronze huilé et le laiton satiné aux noirs mats contemporains et aux métaux polis, permettant une intégration sans effort dans des intérieurs à plusieurs niveaux. En mettant fortement l'accent sur la valeur, la durabilité et l'étendue de la sélection, Maxim Lighting propose des conceptions bien exécutées à grande échelle, ce qui en fait une base essentielle pour les projets qui nécessitent à la fois une flexibilité esthétique et des performances fiables.
