Inspection Lighting for Stone Countertops

Natural stone countertops are a beautiful addition to any home or workplace and more popular than ever.  Despite the appeal of a “natural” look, many demanding customers are looking for near perfection when it comes to surface finish.  This makes your job as an installer very difficult.  Natural light from windows and directional lighting highlight any flaw or scratch.

Inspection lighting can illuminate even the smallest flaw and give you a better view to what your customers will see, before you invest in the cutting, finishing and installation process.

Customer Review in Different Lighting conditions

  • Natural light (closest to sunlight)
  • Warm (amber color, similar to incandescent)
  • Cool (white color, closer to fluorescent)

Simply switch to different colors to help visualize how the stone will look under different lighting.

Technology developed in the Automotive industry

Many years ago, Automotive manufacturers and autobody repair shops realized that using overhead shop lights to inspect cars wasn’t going to work.  Seen in many types of lighting, minor blemishes on the bodies of cars show up to discriminating owners.  Improved lighting techniques using alternating light and dark contrasts provide better visibility to pits and scratches on high gloss surfaces.

Taking the same approach to discriminating countertop customers, Inspection lighting for stone surfaces can help you find and identify blemishes in your incoming product.  This allows you to more easily find and work around any imperfections that your customers may find.
