What inspection variables should be evaluated?
Square-part corners may sit at different distances from the light. Check corners after rotation and height changes, not only the centre.
What lighting geometry fits this inspection task?
Diffuse lighting spreads illumination over a broad area to reduce concentrated reflections. It is useful to evaluate curved parts, glossy packaging and uneven textures. Dome, flat and square diffuse lights have different openings and working distances.
Check background brightness at the centre and edges and look for reflections of the camera opening. Diffusion may also reduce fine-scratch contrast; a separate directional exposure can help. Evaluate colour, markings and defects on real samples instead of selecting a light only for a visually pleasing image.

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.
Lighting the corners of a square part?
Check both the centre and corners of the workpiece under diffuse illumination. A square source may suit the geometry, but the camera opening, source distance and surrounding surfaces still affect uniformity.
Use reflective samples with real edge features and height variation. Look for the source or camera aperture appearing in the image. Reposition the light and compare edge contrast before increasing brightness.
