Thanks for the tip.

My light came just a few days after I ordered it, but I just installed it today. It works very well and it lets me work without a desk-mounted work light. That helps more than one would imagine.

There's another benefit. I previously posted on the endoscope and HP tablet I use to verify powder in a case. With the new KMS Squared LED lights, I can turn the endoscope light off which means the tablet battery will last much longer.

I'll order another one for my other press.

Glad you like it. I'm more impressed with it every day (that I use it).

Now however you've peaked my interest with your tablet setup. What are the details there?

Here is a link to an article (with photos) I wrote on the simple project.

Which one did you get? I want to find out what the size of the circle is on the UFO one -- I'm really curious if it'll fit my Hornady Classic press
I got the 6" as recommended for the Hornady Lock n Load progressive.
I contacted KMS, and for the LNL Classic press he suggested the 3.75", I just ordered it.

For some reason, the link to it on Amazon will not appear when I post it. Here's a link to the article and it has a link to Amazon. https://www.texasfirearmscoalition.com/ ... llon-xl650

That's pretty slick, thanks for sharing!

Edit: My apologies, I see you actually shared details on that already. I'm sorry I missed that.
