MAX Spread Illuminator. The widest beam spread available for area lights. Large shade with shallow angle and tall post all equate to better photometrics. By illuminating a larger area the Magnum SAVES you money by reducing the number of area lights needed. Plus it is a substantially sized fixture that is in balance with the grander scale of today's larger estates. Forget about the mini-sized 18" fixtures from competitors, the Magnum with the recommended 6" accessory riser is a whooping 28" Tall!
