What inspection variables should be evaluated?
Set exposure from the required cycle time before adjusting output. Also check brightness drift during sustained operation.
What lighting geometry fits this inspection task?
A fibre system separates the light source from its output. Match the source interface, guide diameter, numerical aperture and output geometry. Spot, line and ring guides suit different spaces; coupling and bend radius affect the light reaching the sample.
For comparisons, use the same guide, working distance and camera settings. Check connector cleanliness, mounting and temperature. Source output is not the same as illuminance on the workpiece. Judge the complete optical path by usable contrast and exposure margin.

Before choosing a configuration?
For selection, specify the field of view, smallest target feature, height variation, cycle time and installation space. Use the specific product page and drawing to verify electrical ratings, dimensions and compatibility.
Balancing brightness and exposure?
Start with the exposure imposed by motion blur and cycle time. Adjust illumination to obtain adequate signal at that exposure while keeping sensor gain modest and avoiding saturated highlights.
Measure the darkest relevant region, not only the mean image brightness. Repeat after warm-up and at the intended operating duty cycle. Keep the selected illuminator and controller settings together in the machine recipe.
