New Modular LED press lighting systems are now up on the site.





New "Ceiling" kit.

Now we're talking! I like the upgrade!







...and if you want to go cheap digital inspection magnification-check this out!
A digital SLR (canon 60D here) with HDMI output plugged into a monitor - get up to 10x high res magnification w/ an ebay 50mm macro lens.

I use a $10 lamp from IKEA, its a goose neck that generates very little heat. The head of it fits perfectly in between the dies in the hole at the top of the the lnl press.

Works awesome, and has a switch. The light is directed downward right into the case.

I can post some pics tonight if you all want to see it.

I use the same lamp as Vicious. The link is for the black one, but mine is silver. They also make one with a clamp-on base if that is preferable.

I like the idea of an LED strip. It provides a good deal of light on station #3/4 where you really want to see the powder in the case. Last night, I was loading some low recoil rounds (2.5g Red Dot under a 158g LSWC) for .38 special and that small amount in such a tall skinny case made the viewing a challenge.

If you can bend the LED strip to make a ring around the LnL, it would be even better. There are quite a few LED strip makers but I don't know if anyone makes anything other than a flexible linear strip.

Here's a pic of the lamp compared to the HF flashlight


This is what the lamp looks like:

good luck with your venture...
