I, for one, am a big fan of peering into every case to check powder charge. 9mm and .45ACP are no problem but .38/.357 & .44Spl/.44 Mag require a light for these aging eyes. I like the concept here but would like to get opinions preferably from experience with this product but all are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Have had one for my XL650 for a few years now, it works just fine.

Couldn't pass it up - just ordered one. Also got a bin barrier to keep brass/ammo from falling on the concrete floor and dinging the bullet/case mouth...

I love gadgets

I have one on my 550. It makes it so much easier to see in the cases. The first light I had from them came apart and got crushed by the press. I emailed Inline Fabrications and they sent me a new one, no charge.

Works well. I have one on my 650 and one on my LnL. They have connectors so I just unplug and replug the other one.

Hmm, I did not know about this company so I ordered the light for my 550 ( I actually have 2 but one will have to wait) and the wall bar thing that you can hang bins on. Genius.

I have one for my 550, and it has been one of my favorite reloading accessories. Be careful with the LED unit when removing it from the tool head, as there is not much strain relief for the wires.

Very cool! Just bought one with a bin barrier.

Great products

I have a Skylight on my 550 and it is great! I've had one on my SDB (different config but same company) for years and it is great too. I also have their bin barriers and strong mount for the SDB also terrific.

The way the Skylight is installed it would be easy to move between machines if you choose as well.

I say go ahead and get one .... you won't be sorry.

For something like $15 on Amazon, I got a battery powered flexible gooseneck type LED light. I just clamp it near the press and adjust it where I want it. No fuss and it's cheap.

I saw the one from inline and I was too cheap to pay full price for it. So I went on line and spent $20 with free shipping. I got 16' of led's on a sticky tape, 5 of the solderless connecters and one 12 volt DC converter. The lights show where to cut, so I cut off 6 lights, put on a connector, taped it to my lnl-ap and plugged it in-didn't work. Reversed the connector and all was great. While not as fancy as inline it works and is a nice asset to the press for about $10 and no batteries to worry about.

If I knew enough about the transformers I would go around to various thrift shops and pick them up for really cheap.
