InLine Fabrication 6" LED strip for Dillon 650

[Canine582]

do you put the 6" strip on the back post of the press facing towards the front. it seems it's in the way sticking it on the front shinning on the shell plate. at least the light isn't in your eyes. how did you mount yours.

I put mine on the front, shining on the shell plate, it's close, but doesn't hit anything. I also put zip ties on it, the double stick tape doesn't always stick.

did you use the Scotch Brite pad and alcohol to prep the surface before sticking.

I mounted mine on the front shining back onto the shell plate (as well as the one that goes in the center of the head). I had to replace the strip on mine (great customer service from Inline Fabrication by the way) and bought a second strip and "Y" and added the second one to the back of the press to shine forward onto the shell plate. I am not lacking for light.

It is a good idea, removes any oils/greases that may prevent adhesion.

thanks for the replies. the problem I have is mounting it on the front seems good as it doesn't shine in your eyes, but is to tight and harder to run your wires. I guess trial and error.

Thanks

I ran the wire down and back(more room). My light is in the same place as above. Also have the center dome light.

Here you go.

I have the center light and I mounted the strip light on the back of the front post, as someone else said used zip strips to secure it.

[Bkreutz]

I stopped using the powder check die and put the center light in that hole so it shines directly into the case. Can't have too much light.

Mine is also on the rear of the front post. Nearly 12 months with just the tape holding it. Not in the way of anything.

[RichJacot]

I to have mine on the backside of the front post. Going on two years, I don't know how I got along without before.

[Matt W]

I just put mine on the back of the front post using the pics on their website as a guide. For those that don't already know, its a great product.

I ordered an LED light from Lite Tech. It included an LED for the center hole, and the light strip for the back of the front post.

I was very skeptical at first that it was worth the price. They all seem to be similarly priced.

The quality of the assembly was much more than I expected, as I'm sure Inline Fab's is the same way.

Wow! Was I wrong. One of the better additions I have made to the press.

Have 2 of the kits from inline fab great product. Good idea about putting center light in 3 rd station being empty. Did you have to sand down the housing or did it drop right in like in center of tool head.

[echotango]

The hole in the 3rd station is actually larger than the center.

[Dirtchevy841]

Ok nice. Gonna try the light in 3rd hold next time I reload. Actually that's a great idea the light will be shining right down in case to see powder even better.

[Jimk60]

I have found that with the light strip, and the led in the center hole, there is more than enough light to illuminate the inside of the case for inspection.

Of course I wet needle clean, and the inside of my cases shine line a new car.

Besides I need the 3rd station for my bullet feeder. :)

I agree more than enough light in middle. Just another idea I gonna try. Sounds like a good idea. But those in line fab kits are awesome.
