A poster on another forum asked for a light setup to check powder throws on a Lee Classic Cast Turret press. I posted this response, and thought it might be appropriate here as well.
*************************
I use this light (Coast LED Flex Light - #TT7583CP) purchased at Sportsman's Warehouse:
I mount it next to my press like this (using a Forstner bit to drill the shallow hole):
And this is how it works with the light OFF:
and with the light ON:
I like this system because the light doesn't get in the way of my hands, but makes it easy to see the amount of powder in each case. The light runs on a AAA battery which is easy to change, because the light isn't attached to the press in any way. Luckily I had a collection of Forstner bits with one exactly the right size for a snug fit.
