What is an ADA Compliant Light Fixture?

Zvi Sperling leverages over forty years of management experience to inform his role as the executive vice president of Maxim Group Companies. A graduate of Glendale City College, Zvi Sperling oversees the sales and finance functions of the company.

Maxim currently offers thousands of lighting products that range from contemporary interior products to tough UVA resistant outdoor lighting fixtures. The firm also offers a wide range of Title 24 and ADA compliant lighting products. ADA refers to the Americans with Disabilities Act, a piece of legislation signed in 1991 that seeks to protect the equal rights of disabled persons.

ADA compliant lighting must meet specifications related to clearance and protrusion from the wall. For example, the ADA stipulates objects such as light fixtures that hang between 27 and 80 inches high must not extend more than four inches off the wall. However, this requirement only holds if the fixture extends into a walkway, hallway, corridor, aisle, or other passage.
