How to inspect lamps and light fixtures with computer vision

How can a lighting maker use computer vision to inspect lamps and fixtures before they ship?

A camera station at the end of the line looks at each lamp or fixture, often while it is switched on in a test booth, and flags dark or flickering spots, uneven light, wrong color tone, scratched or cracked lenses, paint chips, loose trim and missing labels for a person to check. Each flag is saved with a photo and the model and batch, so repeat problems point back to a station or a parts lot. A quality lead decides every pass or rework, and the usual electrical, heat and listing tests stay in place.

What this means in practice

A camera in a dark test booth takes pictures of each lamp, panel or fixture switched off and then switched on, so both the finish and the light it gives show up clearly.
The model is trained on the clients own models and finishes. It flags dark spots, dead or flickering sections, uneven light, light that looks too warm or too cool for the order, scratched, cracked or cloudy lenses, paint chips, loose or crooked trim, and labels that are missing or out of place.
Each flag is saved with a photo, the model, the batch and the time, so the team can see if one assembly station, driver lot or lens supplier keeps causing the same problem.
A quality lead checks every flagged unit and decides whether it ships, gets fixed or is pulled. The camera points at the product, not at workers, and any people caught in view are blurred.
Start with one line and one model, compare the camera flags with what the testers find for a few weeks, and keep the existing electrical, heat, light output and listing tests in place.

How Lid Vizion approaches it

We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
