Got a light? Huge improvement for your press
If you're like me trying to get the right amount of light on the toolhead/shell-plate area is a challenge. Clamp on shop lights and overhead lights do ok, but it's still a matter of trying to position them such that you don't throw a shadow when standing at the press. Enter the KMS Squared UFO LED light kits. Wow, is this thing ever bright and yet unobtrusive. Very well thought out and executed. The best part, all this from a Texas Company (Frisco)! Heck yeah!

The UFO one looks like it’ll work on my hot day single stage, I’ll probably invest soon
Edit: hot day? I meant HORNADY

Re: Got a light? Huge improvement for your press
I like that setup better than others I've seen. I just ordered one. If I like it, I'll order another one for my other XL650.
Thanks for the tip.

Great company to do business with and cheaper if you order direct from them and NOT Amazon.

I wanted to order one of those, but I use the center hole for my camera (endoscope). Now I'm glad I didn't try it anyway.

Re: Got a light? Huge improvement for your press
Hope y’all enjoy the light as much as I have so far. It’s a great addition that I wish I’d known about sooner. As a newbie (still) being able to see what I’m doing is not only a huge help, but helps with my confidence level. And yes, their shipping is crazy fast.

Re: Got a light? Huge improvement for your press
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
