The MX-L120-EL features a new edge illuminated technology that provides even light without the common LED spots on the counter. The enclosed design does not need to be open for either wiring or for mounting. Knockouts for wiring are on a removable plate on the back for quick and easy wiring. 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.
