Configure an illustrative wall lamp here: a hinged tubular arm fixed to a round wall plate, with a head that angles down. Choose a finish and a standard or long arm.
Wall lamps by the bed solve a space problem, whether that is no bedside table or one too small for a lamp. The buyer is deciding where the light lands when the head is tipped down over a pillow, and that depends on the arm. Too short and the light falls behind the reader. Too long and the arm crowds a narrow nook. Most people buy two, so the decision is made twice over.

Illustrative product. The design and images are generated examples, not a real model for sale.
What you can configure
Swatches for black, aluminium, white and bronze are included; oxide red and sage are the other two finishes. Every image tips the head to one angle, leaving the finish as the sole variable. Arm length, standard or long, is selectable and recorded, but the photograph keeps one arm. Showing both in production is worth the extra images, because reach is what buyers are checking.

Why a configurator suits wall lamps
The common mistake is choosing an arm without measuring where the bed sits relative to the wall plate. Twelve finish and arm combinations, usually bought in pairs, leave plenty of room for it. A configurator can ask whether the lamp goes above or beside the bed, and roughly how far from the pillow, then recommend an arm.
Installation is the second question. Some wall lamps plug in with a cable down the wall; others are wired in by an electrician. Whichever applies, buyers need to know before they order, because it changes the cost and timing of the job. Stating it clearly inside the configurator saves a call to customer service and a cancelled order.
Hotels, chalets and holiday lets buy wall lamps in volume for exactly this reason: they free up bedside space. A quote route that takes room counts and finish choice turns a hospitality enquiry into a clean schedule. Smaller hotels often mix finishes between room types, which is easy to capture line by line.
How a production version would be built
Layering suits a jointed lamp. The wall plate and arm are rendered per finish at each arm length, with the head as a separate layer per finish. The arm can then lengthen without a full reshoot. A simple side elevation shows the reach of each arm. The retailer supplies finishes, arm lengths and reach, installation type, plate diameter and bulb details. Retail buyers add pairs to the basket; hotel enquiries go to a quote with quantities per room type. Lighting configurator demos show similar approaches for other fittings.

Questions about wall lamp configurators
Can the configurator recommend an arm length for a bed nook?
Yes. It can ask whether the lamp mounts beside or above the bed and the distance to the pillow, then suggest standard or long. The recommendation uses the reach figures you publish for each arm. A side elevation showing the lamp over a pillow makes the reason obvious to the buyer.
How should we explain hard-wired versus plug-in installation?
With one clear line beside the arm choice, repeated in the summary. If the lamp must be wired in, say that an electrician is needed. If it plugs in, show where the cable runs. Buyers who know this before ordering cancel far less often.
Can buyers order a mirrored left and right pair?
Yes, if your lamp is handed or the head sits differently on each side. The configurator can add a pair with the arms mirrored. If the lamp is the same either way, a quantity of two with a note about positioning is enough, and the order stays simple.
Will aluminium and bronze look right in a warm bedroom?
They can if each finish is shown under warm evening light as well as daylight. Aluminium looks cooler and brighter in a studio than in a bedroom lit by lamps. A second image per finish, lit the way the lamp will be used, gives buyers a fairer comparison.
