This illustrative wall lamp pairs a spring-balanced pivot with a round wall bracket. The shade pulls over a bed or chair and pushes back when not needed. Colour and wiring method are configurable, with the result sent as a quote.
Swing-arm wall lamps are reading lights first. Buyers want the shade to land over a book without glaring into the next pillow, and the arm to stay put once positioned. The wiring question is just as decisive. Many people buying a bedside wall lamp rent their home, or simply have no wiring point above the bed.

What you can configure
Black, warm white, dove grey and slate blue can be compared in the demo. Mustard and brick red are the other two finishes. The bracket, arms and shade all take the colour. Wiring is plug-in or hardwired. A plug-in version runs a cable down the wall to a socket and can go up in an afternoon. A hardwired version connects to the house wiring for a cleaner wall, but needs an electrician to fit it.

Why a configurator suits wall lamps
The plug-in or hardwired choice divides buyers into two groups with different needs. Renters and holiday-let owners want plug-in, and they want to see how the cable looks. Homeowners renovating a bedroom may prefer hardwired and will ask whether the lamp can be switched from the wall. Each group can get its own answer from the same product page.
Getting this wrong is expensive for everyone. A hardwired lamp bought by someone with no electrician arranged sits in its box for weeks, or comes back. A plug-in lamp fitted where a hardwired one was wanted leaves a cable across a freshly painted wall. A short question about how the lamp will be powered prevents both.
Wall lamps are often bought in pairs, one each side of a bed. The range covers twelve colour and wiring combinations. Setting the quantity to two by default makes a matching pair the natural order. Pairs also double the cost of a wrong wiring choice, which is another reason to settle it before checkout.
How a production version would be built
One image per colour covers the hero shot. The wiring choice deserves its own detail image. A plug-in lamp has a visible cable and possibly an inline switch, while a hardwired one does not. When plug-in is chosen, the cable can be added as a layer. Required data is colours, SKUs per wiring type, cable length, switch position and fitting notes. Fitting instructions can be attached to the order confirmation. Orders go to Shopify or WooCommerce, and holiday-let operators furnishing several properties can request a quote.
Build sheet for this range
- Colours in the full range: 6 (4 shown in this demo)
- Wiring choices: 2
- Combinations to support: 6 × 2 = 12
- Images for one photograph per combination at 3 angles: 36
- Images if wiring options 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 wall lamp configurators
Can the configurator help a renter choose the right wiring option?
Yes. A single question about whether the buyer can add a wiring point is usually enough. If not, the configurator recommends plug-in and shows the cable length, so they can check the distance to the nearest socket. The buyer can still choose hardwired, but they do so knowingly.
Should the plug-in version show the cable in the image?
Yes. The cable is part of how the lamp looks on the wall, and hiding it in photography sets the wrong expectation. A detail image showing the cable and any inline switch, ideally with a cable cover option, gives an honest picture. The demo records the wiring choice without altering the photograph.
Can buyers order a matching pair for each side of the bed?
Yes. Quantity can default to two for bedside lamps, with the option to change it. If the arm is handed, the configurator can also ask for left and right versions. Both appear in the summary, so the order is clear to whoever picks and packs it.
How long does it take to build a configurator for a wall lighting range?
It depends mainly on the photography and product data. If consistent images and variant data already exist, a single-family configurator is quicker. A range with several lamps, finishes and wiring options needs more planning around images and stock. Send me the range and I will reply within two UK working days with a realistic outline.
