Built with specifiers in mind, this demo covers an illustrative linear pendant with an opal diffuser set flush into its underside. Choose a body finish and one of two lengths to produce a specification for quotation.
Linear pendants are usually bought by someone working from a drawing. An architect or fit-out contractor knows the table length, the ceiling grid and the finish schedule before opening the page. They need to confirm three things: the length suits the table, the finish matches the scheme, and the technical details satisfy the lighting design.

Illustrative product. The design and images are generated examples, not a real model for sale.
What you can configure
White, black, graphite and champagne bodies are on show; aluminium and bronze are also in the range. The diffuser and end caps stay identical, so each swatch changes only the housing colour. Length is either 940 or 1500 mm and is recorded in the summary. The image does not stretch with it in this demo. In production each length would have its own view, ideally over a table drawn to scale.

Why a configurator suits pendants
Office lighting is a specification sale. The buyer is often a lighting designer, a contractor or a facilities manager, and the order arrives as a schedule rather than a basket. Six finishes in two lengths is twelve codes, and the question is rarely which looks nicest. It is which code goes on the drawing, with which driver and which suspension kit.
A configurator that builds the code as options are chosen removes a round of emails. It can show the matching data sheet and list the lumen output and colour temperature you publish for each length. It can also flag where a dimming protocol such as DALI changes the code. The specifier downloads what they need, and the quote request arrives complete.
Linear fittings are also ordered in runs. A boardroom may need one; an open-plan floor may need forty. Capturing quantity, finish and length per area in one request lets the supplier price the job properly. It also shows where a longer fitting would cover a run with fewer suspension points, saving the contractor installation time.
How a production version would be built
Image-based is enough here: one render per finish per length, from a three-quarter angle with the diffuser visible. The more important work is in the data. The supplier provides product codes, the published photometric and electrical details for each length, driver and dimming options, suspension lengths and data sheet files. Those drive the code builder and attach the right documents to the quote. Structured product data also lets the configurator pass a clean line list to a CRM or ERP system instead of a PDF.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Length choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if lengths can be shown as separate layers, at 3 angles: 24
- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about pendant configurators
Can the configurator generate a product code and data sheet for specifiers?
Yes. Each choice adds a segment to the code, and the finished code links to the matching data sheet and photometric file. Specifiers can download them straight away or save the configuration for later. The code logic comes from your existing ordering guide, so it stays consistent with what your sales team quotes.
Can it handle different dimming options and drivers?
Yes, as an extra option that changes the code without changing the picture. Non-dimmable, phase-dimmable and DALI versions can each carry their own lead time and data sheet. Where a driver is not available at a particular length, the configurator simply does not offer that combination.
Can contractors request several lengths and finishes in one quote?
Yes. A project mode lets them add lines for each area, such as boardroom, reception or open plan, with a quantity on each. The quote arrives as a schedule rather than separate requests. It can include a project name and site address so your team can register the job.
Can the finish be matched to a RAL colour for one project?
The configurator can offer a custom finish option that captures a RAL reference and quantity, then routes the request to quotation rather than ordering. It cannot preview every RAL colour perfectly, but a tinted image is usually enough to confirm the choice before a sample is made.
