A shade that tapers from a round top to a slim linear opening gives this illustrative wall lamp its narrow downward wash. The stem rotates from the wall box. Choose a finish and a switch.
A bedside wall lamp is used in the last minutes before sleep, so the light needs to be narrow, low and controllable. The tapered opening keeps the wash contained, and the switch decides how that light behaves. An on/off switch is simple. A dimmer lets one person read while another sleeps. Finish matters, but control is what people notice every night.

What you can configure
Black, raw brass, white and stone grey are in the demo; dark green and rust are the other two. With the stem fixed at one angle throughout, nothing but the finish moves between swatches. Switch type, on/off or dimmer, is selected and shown in the summary without altering the picture. A close-up of each switch would be added in production.

Why a configurator suits wall lamps
Switch choice on a bedside light changes the order more than it seems. A dimmer may need a compatible bulb or driver, and it may carry a different price and code. When the switch is a structured option, the right parts are picked and a suitable bulb can be suggested automatically, rather than discovered when the lamp flickers.
Raw brass needs explaining. It is usually unlacquered, so it darkens and develops a patina with handling, which some buyers want and others treat as a fault. A short note and an image of aged brass beside the new finish set honest expectations, and prevent returns from customers who expected it to stay bright.
Most of the twelve finish and switch combinations are bought as pairs, one either side of a bed. A pair diagram in the chosen finish, with stems at reading height above a bed outline, shows spacing better than a single lamp on white. Bedroom buyers decide on symmetry, so getting both lamps into one view helps.
How a production version would be built
One image per finish covers the fitting, with switch type handled through a close-up and the product data. A simple pair elevation, drawn to scale, adds context without a room photograph. For raw brass, a second image showing the aged patina is worth including. The retailer supplies finishes, switch codes, bulb or driver compatibility, wall box details and installation notes. Orders go to the basket in pairs, and a compatible dimmable bulb can be added automatically when the dimmer is chosen.

Questions about wall lamp configurators
Can the configurator add the right bulb when a dimmer is chosen?
Yes. When the dimmer option is selected, the configurator can add a compatible dimmable bulb to the basket or flag that one is needed. The compatibility list comes from your product data, so it stays accurate as bulbs change. It prevents the flicker complaints that follow mismatched bulbs.
How should we explain that raw brass will change colour?
With a short sentence beside the swatch and a second image of aged brass. Say that unlacquered brass darkens with time and handling, and that it can be polished back if preferred. Buyers who choose it knowing that are usually the ones who want the patina.
Can buyers see the stem in different positions?
Yes, with two or three images at different stem angles, such as raised to reading height and turned lower for a softer wash. Showing both helps buyers understand how the lamp will work above a pillow, and it answers questions about reach before they are asked.
Does a wall lamp configurator need to know about the wall box?
It helps. If the lamp needs a particular back box or fixing, the configurator can say so and list it with the order. Electricians appreciate knowing in advance, and buyers avoid a second visit. It is a small detail that saves a lot of rescheduling.
