Lights for my press

Welcome to thr!
I have 2 progressive presses & 2 single stage
Both progs & 1 single have the UFO lights.
I like it so much I'll never go back to the DARK SIDE.
Pull up a seat & you'll learn a LOT.
Some of which may be true!

I'm cheap I just bought a few of these "Little Dot" pre-wired LEDs at $2.50/ea and put under my press. Mainly to light between the powder station and the seating station.

Little more involved to install, made it work on a Redding turret press.

I use a magnetic-base LED sewing machine light. As I recall, it cost about $10.

Hey... that has to be a steel press, are you suggesting everyone deep six their aluminum framed presses?

I bought a couple of those lights as well, and to make the magnet "work" on my aluminum Hornady's I epoxied a steel washer to an area of the frame.

<nodding> Exactly how I added one of those LED units to my sister's, plastic-housing, sewing machine.

I like this, great idea. I just ordered two.
