Practical guides for engineers and system integrators selecting LED lighting for AOI and industrial inspection.

Machine vision lighting is one of the most critical, and most overlooked, variables in any AOI inspection 
system. The right illumination depends on your defect type, working distance, field of view, camera, and 
surface geometry. Choose wrong and your inspection system underperforms regardless of algorithm quality.

At 3AM, we have spent 20+ years solving real inspection challenges across semiconductor, PCB, medical, 
and industrial automation. These guides share what we know — so you make better lighting decisions, faster.
