Learn how to choose between the Wiring Option and Nickel/Pewter Option when customizing a Blueprint Lighting fixture, with a step-by-step process to avoid ordering mistakes.

Quick answer

Choose the Wiring Option if you need a specific electrical configuration for your fixture, and choose the Nickel/Pewter Option if you want a different metal finish. Select both add-ons when you need a wiring change and a finish change, and always confirm compatibility with your fixture before ordering.

Why these two add-ons serve different purposes

The Wiring Option and the Nickel/Pewter Option are separate add-ons that address different parts of fixture customization. The Wiring Option changes how the fixture connects to power, while the Nickel/Pewter Option changes the metal finish. Because they affect different aspects, one does not replace the other. If you need both a wiring change and a finish change, you will likely need to select both options. Also, these add-ons are priced separately from the base fixture, so budget for each one you select.

When to choose one over the other

If your main concern is how the fixture will be installed or connected, start with the Wiring Option. If your main concern is matching the fixture’s metal to other hardware or a design scheme, start with the Nickel/Pewter Option. If you are unsure whether your fixture supports either add-on, check the product page or contact Blueprint Lighting before ordering. Do not assume that every fixture accepts every add-on.

Step-by-step: how to choose and order your fixture options

Identify your primary need: Decide whether you need a wiring change, a finish change, or both. Write down the specific requirement (e.g., 'dimmer compatibility' or 'match brushed nickel hardware'). If you need both, plan to select two add-ons.
Check fixture compatibility: Verify on the fixture’s product page that the Wiring Option and/or Nickel/Pewter Option are available for that specific model. If the information is missing, contact Blueprint Lighting before ordering. Do not assume add-ons are universal; compatibility varies by fixture.
Select the add-on(s) on the product page: Add the Wiring Option and/or Nickel/Pewter Option to your cart from the fixture’s page. These are separate line items, so make sure both appear in your cart if you need both. Double-check your cart to confirm you haven’t missed an add-on.
Review your order before checkout: Confirm that the add-ons you selected match your needs and that the total price reflects the add-ons. If you have questions, pause and contact customer service. A quick review prevents costly returns or delays.
