It's easy to see how the Maxim Lighting Cylinder collection got its name. Cylindrical shades of Satin White glass are supported by stepped round cups mounted to an oval-shaped frame finished in either Satin Nickel or Oil-Rubbed Bronze. Maxim Lighting was founded in 1970 when aeronautical engineering student Jacob Sperling began to design and build his own light fixtures, which he first sold out of the back of a station wagon! The company has grown exponentially since and today it features a wide variety of lighting that spans different styles and is suitable for any space. Maxim Lighting's sister company is ET2, another Lights Online brand, which focuses on contemporary lighting designs.
