UFO light for reloading press
A while back I bought one of these, the older style (with half moon light strip). Finely got around to installing it on my Lee 4 hole turret press. Took me about half an hour. It works perfectly! There is so much light on the press now. Very nice addition!

I’ve got one of their lights on my 550. It’s literally like night and day. I had one of the Dillon skylights that goes on the middle hole, but the ufo is so bright, you can’t even tell if the skylight is on or off.

I'm curious jake1945; do the cords get in the way at all? I have power available close to my Lee turret press but want to avoid additional clutter on the reloading bench-top. Please advise.

I agree they are great, I like mine. The cord does not get in the way.

My UFO light for my Lee Turret press is the best money I ever spent on reloading. And their customer service is terrific.

Is there a part number or model number on that light. I would like to look into one. Thank you for the report.

I had the UFO on my Lee turret and now I have one on my 750. I highly recommend them. I bought one off the KMS2 website and another off their eBay store.

I have my Dillon on a riser. I bought a magnetic sewing machine light. LED, base sticks to the riser, and has a flexible neck to aim the light. I paid $18 delivered.

They are not in the way at all. On the Lee turret press you can locate the light bar next to one of the 'pillers' so that the cord is attached to it completely out of the way. The power core then runs behind and to the side of the press with the on/off switch. The power cord is firmly attached to the 'piller'.

You can go directly to their website and view all their options. Just google UFO reloading press light.

I have a UFO light on my Dillon. The lighting is even and very bright. Money well spent and they're a good company to deal with. As other posters noted, the cord doesn't get in the way. The wall wart can be unplugged leaving only a short pigtail on the press.
Highly recommended!

Always nice to see useful electrical stuff.
Good to teach kids to be safe with electricity and innovative to create what they need.
Two great gifts for kids when Radio Shack was up and running.
I'm still trying to figure out how they fit Hank Williams into the stereo speaker box.

Can't speak for the UFO, but I have an Inline Fabrication light on my Lee press. Love it. Helps to see into the bottom of those long 38 Special cases.

Great product. Have one on each of my 550s. Swap power cord between the two. Highly recommend.

The Lee Classic Turret on the left end of the bench has a clip on light attached, (removable), that I use to look in each case after dropping powder. I think I, or the MBH, gave about 25 bucks for it several years ago. It works for me.
Have a blessed day,
Leon
