A curved oak handle, a small brass switch and a rechargeable body define this illustrative portable lamp. Its colour and charging method are the two choices here, and both appear in the quote summary.
Cordless lamps are bought for places a cable cannot reach: a terrace table, a garden path, a jetty at dusk. Buyers weigh how the lamp looks unlit by day as much as lit at night, how it feels to carry, and how charging fits their routine. Restaurant and bar owners add another question, which is how to keep a dozen of them topped up before service.

What you can configure
The demo offers matte white, black, terracotta and olive, and sand and dusty blue extend the range. The oak handle and brass switch stay the same in every colour, so the swatches show only the body. Charging is by cable or by dock. A cable suits a single lamp carried around the house. A dock gives the lamp a fixed home and makes charging a matter of setting it down.

Why a configurator suits portable lamps
Portable lamps sell to two very different buyers. Homeowners buy one or two, often as gifts. Hospitality buyers order many, in one or two colours, with a charging setup that staff can manage quickly. A configurator lets one product page serve both, with a basket for the first and a quote for the second.
The charging choice is where orders go wrong. A restaurant that orders lamps with cables may find staff spending the evening hunting for sockets. One that orders a dock for every lamp may only have needed a few. One question about how many lamps will be charged together is enough to suggest a sensible mix.
Colour is a lighter decision than with fixed lighting, because a portable lamp moves between settings. Even so, terracotta and olive are earthy shades that photograph unevenly, and buyers want to judge them against timber and stone as well as a plain background. That is twelve colour and charger pairings, each worth showing accurately.
How a production version would be built
One image per colour, plus a lit version, covers the visual side. The dock is a separate object, so a production build can place it as a layer under the lamp when the dock is selected. Colour names, SKUs, battery run time, charge time and any outdoor rating come from the retailer. They appear as plain text beside the options rather than being implied by images. Trade orders arrive as quotes with lamp and dock quantities, and retail orders go through Shopify or WooCommerce. Hospitality enquiries can also be routed straight into a sales CRM.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Charging choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if chargers 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 portable lamp configurators
Can we sell extra docks separately from the lamps?
Yes. The dock can be both a configurable option and a separate accessory with its own SKU. A hospitality buyer might want a set of lamps with fewer docks than lamps, and the configurator can capture both quantities in one quote. Retail customers can add a spare dock to the basket in the same way.
Where should battery run time and outdoor suitability appear?
Next to the charging option, in plain language, using the manufacturer's tested figures. Buyers of portable lamps ask about run time before almost anything else. Putting it in the configurator, and repeating it in the summary, saves those questions arriving by email after the order has been placed.
Can the configurator show the lamp lit as well as unlit?
Yes, and it helps. A lit view shows the glow a portable lamp is bought for, while the unlit product image shows colour accurately. The buyer can toggle between them. Both images should be taken from the same angle, so the switch between them feels natural and nothing else appears to change.
How much does a configurator for a portable lamp range cost?
There is no fixed price. It depends on the number of lamp families, how many colours and charging options each carries, whether photography already exists, and where trade quotes need to go. My configurator cost guide explains the main factors, and I reply to enquiries within two UK working days.
