Maxim Lighting STR05012BK-HG 12" Extension Stem

Get the Right Drop with the Maxim Lighting 12-Inch Extension Stem

The STR05012BK-HG from Maxim Lighting is a 12-inch extension stem designed to adjust the hanging height of compatible pendant and mini-pendant fixtures. It is suitable for indoor use. Key features include a Black finish and a slightly wider 0.5-inch diameter to match specific Maxim fixture lines.

Key Features and Benefits of This Extension Stem

The 12-inch length allows a pendant to hang at the right height over furniture below, which matters because ceiling height and stock stem length rarely line up perfectly. Its Black finish keeps hardware visually unified with matte black fixture designs.

Where to Use the STR05012BK-HG Extension Stem

This stem suits indoor pendant installations over islands, tables, or entry spaces where additional drop is needed. It functions only as an accessory to a compatible Maxim pendant fixture, not as a standalone light.

Installation and Compatibility Checks

Confirm the 0.5-inch stem diameter matches your specific Maxim pendant model, since fixture stems vary in width across product lines and are not interchangeable. Check the canopy and stem coupling before ordering.

Additional Buying Context

Buying the correct extension stem upfront lets one pendant fixture adapt to different ceiling heights without a full replacement. It is also available in Kentucky Bronze and Satin Nickel to match other Maxim finishes.
