Compare the Switch Option and Wood Option for Blueprint Lighting fixtures. Learn which adds convenience and which adds material character, and how to decide.
Quick answer
Choose the Switch Option if you want an integrated toggle switch on a compatible Blueprint fixture for easier control. Choose the Wood Option if you want to add a walnut detail to the Elska fixture. They serve different purposes: one is about control, the other about material character.
The trade-off between convenience and material character
The Switch Option adds a functional toggle switch to your lighting setup, which can make everyday operation more convenient. The Wood Option adds a walnut detail to the Elska fixture, contributing to the fixture's material character. The trade-off is between investing in control versus investing in appearance. Neither option changes the fundamental light output; they refine how you interact with or perceive the fixture.
Compatibility limits your choice
The Switch Option is designed specifically for Blueprint Lighting products and integrates with compatible fixtures. The Wood Option is an add-on for the Elska fixture. Before deciding, confirm that your fixture supports the option you want. If you are considering both, you may need to prioritize based on which fixture you own or plan to purchase.
Price and value considerations
The Switch Option adds $15 to the base price of a compatible fixture, while the Wood Option's price is not listed in the catalog. When budgeting, factor in the cost of the option relative to the overall fixture price. The Switch Option's price is straightforward, but the Wood Option's value depends on how much you prioritize the walnut detail.
