A few years ago I started carrying a pocket flashlight everyday. I am an engineer and I was constantly needing to troubleshoot inside of a dark machine or die. This morning I was out loading on my new 550b (yes very excited about my new blue press!) and found I was having trouble seeing how much powder was in my cases. So I took my handy dandy pocket flashlight out of my pocket and rubber banded it to my bullet seating die. The light shines down through the hole in the center of the tool head. I could take about 0.030" off the diameter of the flashlight and it could slide right in the tool head but I like just pulling it out of my pocket.
It does a darn good job in my opinion:

For the people like me who want to know what I was loading:
44 Mag Starline cases, RCBS 44-250 Keith SWC, 20 grains of IMR 4227
Have a great day!
