This configurator is built around an illustrative task floor lamp with a tubular hinged arm and a conical head. Set the finish and the head size, and the summary updates with your lamp.
A task lamp earns its place by putting light exactly where someone reads, writes or draws. The buyer is choosing a pool of light as much as a finish. A small head gives a tight, focused circle on a book. A larger one spreads light across a chair and side table. The arm then decides whether it reaches the right spot without the base sitting in the way.

Illustrative product. The design and images are generated examples, not a real model for sale.
What you can configure
Four finishes appear in the demo: black, aluminium, white and bronze. Oxide red and deep blue make up the six. Arm angle and head position match in every image, so the finish is the only change. Head size, small or large, sits next to the swatches and carries into the summary. The image does not swap heads here, though a production build would, since the head is the most visible difference.

Why a configurator suits floor lamps
Head size changes both the look and the light. Buyers who choose a large head for presence sometimes find it too bright at close range. Those who choose a small head for neatness can find the pool too narrow for a large chair. Showing each head with its pool of light on a chair or desk explains the choice in one image.
Design retailers often stock two or three of the twelve combinations and list the rest as special order, which means the most interesting colours are the hardest to see. A configurator shows the whole range with equal weight, so oxide red gets the same presentation as black, and the retailer learns which colours people actually want.
Task lamps also sell to studios, libraries and practices that buy several at once. An architect's office fitting out a reading area needs a quantity, a consistent finish and sometimes a mix of head sizes. Capturing that in one quote keeps the order accurate and gives the supplier a contact worth following up.
How a production version would be built
Twelve combinations is few enough to render each one from a single 3D model, which keeps the arm geometry identical across finishes. The effort is better spent on a lit view per head, seen from above a chair, so buyers can compare the two pools of light. The retailer supplies finishes, head sizes, bulb type, reach dimensions and special-order lead times. Stocked versions go to the basket; trade orders with several lines go to a quote. Other lighting configurator demos show how the same approach suits different fittings.

Questions about floor lamp configurators
Can the configurator show the pool of light from each head size?
Yes. A lit view per head, taken from above a chair or desk, shows how wide and how bright the pool is. It is one of the most useful images a task lamp can have. It answers the question buyers cannot test online: whether the light will cover what they are reading.
How do we show how far the arm reaches?
A side elevation with the arm at its usual working positions, and the reach marked from the base, works well. It helps buyers check that the lamp clears the chair arm and reaches the seat. Using your published dimensions keeps it accurate, and it doubles as a useful drawing for trade buyers.
Can special-order colours show a longer lead time?
Yes. Each finish can carry its own availability, so stocked finishes show standard delivery and special-order colours show their real lead time before checkout. Buyers who want oxide red can still order it, and they know exactly what to expect, which cuts the chasing emails.
Can trade buyers order a mix of head sizes in one request?
Yes. A trade mode lets them add several lines, each with a finish, head size and quantity, then send them as one quote. It suits architects and libraries fitting out reading areas. The request arrives with every line structured, ready to enter into your order system.
