A data processing system can identify a plurality of attributes of a lighting system. The plurality of attributes can comprise at least one of a luminescent type, a mounting type, or a luminescent feature. The data processing system can detect, responsive to input via a graphical user interface, a layout for installation of the lighting system. The data processing system can select, using a model configured to satisfy a gap constraint, a plurality of light fixtures based on the layout and the plurality of attributes that, when electrically coupled to conform to the layout, satisfy the gap constraint. The data processing system can provide an instruction to cause manufacturing of the selected plurality of light fixtures in accordance with the layout and the plurality of attributes. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of manufacturing light fixtures, comprising: identifying, by a data processing system comprising one or more processors and memory, a plurality of attributes of a lighting system, the plurality of attributes comprising at least one of a luminescent type, a mounting type, or a luminescent feature;
