Upgrade for my Dillon 550...

[THE ICEMAN]

I just picked up an LED light system for my 550. These old eyes aren't what they used to be & found I was needing more light than my loading room light would provide.

I ordered this light system off of Amazon... KMS Squared UFO 550 Reloading Press Light for Dillon 450 or 550

Here's the loading setup without the light on & flash from the camera...

Here it is with the light on & no flash...

It was real easy to set up, only took about 10 to 15 minutes... I think this will make my reloading sessions much more enjoyable being able to see what is going on...

never can have enough light while reloading, i opted for magnetic led with a flexible arm, so i could move it around to accommodate when working on unit or just trade it out on another unit, i picked up three of them, (have 5 550s and 1 650) only two are in use at one time, so......any light is awesome, as older i get the worse light conditions seem to get.
nice find,
best of luck with unit

There's a vendor at the Phoenix Crossroads shows who sells LED lighting kits for all brands of presses and for gun safes.

I've got 6 of their kits on presses and one with a motion detector in my safe. When I open the door, the motion detector picks me up and turns the lights on. When there's no movement for 15 seconds, the lights turn off by themselves to save the batteries.

Yes the LED Light kits are the best. I bought mine off of Ebay years ago. They certainly help. No goose necks, No lights inserted in the Tool head, just light all of the time>

Good set up. I found a little led light the sits in the center hole of the die head that lights enough for me to see the powder dump.

I bought a KMS kit for my 650. Great, should have done it years ago. Well worth the cost and easy to mount.

I will be looking into this now. Just need an upgrade from the small light on my press.
