How do I read, build, or validate a Bock part number, including finish codes, mounting options, and accessories?
A Bock part number is structured as a series of segments separated by slashes: [Fixture Style]-[Exterior Finish][Interior Finish] / [LED Module or Socket] / [Mounting/Cord] / [Accessories]. For example, 514-eG0-iG1 / MED5 / PT-1-G0 represents a 514 fixture with black exterior (eG0), white interior (iG1), medium base socket (MED5), and a black pole-top arm (PT-1-G0).
Finish Codes: Use "eG" for exterior finish and "iG" for interior finish, followed by a color code (e.g., G0 = black, G1 = white, G8 = bronze, G12 = brushed aluminum). A black exterior with white interior is specified as eG0-iG1. Not all fixtures support two-tone finishes—contact your Bock project manager to confirm.
Mounting & Cord: Cord length is specified in the part number (e.g., 643-10FT for 10-foot cord). Most pendant fixtures come with 96" (8 feet) of cord/leads for field connection. Canopy options include BCC (larger, for emergency/legacy match) and BDC (sleeker, for new LED installations). Sloped ceiling mounts are available on select fixtures—specify ceiling slope when ordering.
Accessories: Options like wire guards (not available on all fixtures), jelly jars (e.g., 41 for clear, 41CR for red), knuckle joints (KNK1), and gooseneck arms (e.g., GN23A, GN41P) are added as part number segments. Some accessories may require specific fixture compatibility.
Use Bock's online product builder at bocklighting.com/create to visually configure your fixture and auto-generate the correct part number, or contact your Bock project manager for assistance. Note: older part numbers may include legacy codes like "1SL" (1 Switch Leg), which are no longer used in current nomenclature.
