    Lights for Dillon RL550B

    Installed these today in about 10 minutes. Nice package and what great lighting. Wow!

    Got them off Ebay but here is their website:

    Man, that looks really bright, I've already got a light that fits in the center of the tool head which does a pretty good job but you can never have too much.

    I have the Skylight kit from Inline Fabrication on mine. Provides more than enough light. Definitely worth the cost because I can see into every case.

    Thanks for the post....need the light to see better and safer!

    I've been thinking of dimmable LED lights for mine, starting with the Rock Chucker tho. I'm picky about glare I guess

    Bit the bullet and ordered the second one for my other 550. Can't work in the dark anymore.

    Life is too short to reload in sub-optimal light, so I got the light from inline fabrication for my 550B. It makes a big difference.

    I bought a similar light for my RL550 off of ebay, it includes both a light that inserts through the center hole in the tool head and a multi-element LED light strip that you stick to the front vertical of the press frame , the whole kit still sits in the padded envelope next to my computer desk, because I've bought a new loading bench, a commercially made electronics bench bought from a government surplus dealer with a heavy maple butcher block work surface and have not mounted anything to it yet.

    I have the same setup as the OP does, I love it. No more side lights or flashlights,now I can see perfectly in the cases to check powder levels. And you all know, loading .38 wc ammo, you need to check!!! Just my .02.
    I firmly believe that you should only get treated by how you act, not by who or what you are!!

    EPD230,
    You must have bought the "Expansion Kit" which is just the light, no power supply. I did that and ordered a power supply for $4, total cost was $20, saving $10.

    Yup, just got it in and discovered my mistake. I just ordered the power supply and a switch for another $9.00.

    Still happy, just have to wait another week to get it working.

    I just received two, installed them and WOW wonderful. I have raised Dillon bases and added two extra cable tie bases that hold the switch in place and keep the power cable from moving. I have been en-lightened��
