This ultra low-profile design of the CounterMax MX-X12 Series Xenon under cabinet lighting conceals long-lasting, low-voltage Xelogen bulbs that distribute a crisp bright light. Hinged tops allow for convenient bulb replacement, and push-in wire connectors in the junction Box make either direct wire or plug-in installation quick and simple. 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.
