A long time ago I saw a guy post a picture mirror and light setup on his reloading press that lets you see what's going on with the cases without looking downward the whole time your loading.

Any idea where I can get me one of those?

Uniqetek sells a nice light for this pupose. I use a light but not the mirror. It's generally a good thing to be watching the press closely when your loading.

Coastal LED light from Home Depot for $20.

Look under the 650 and 1050 tricks and tips. I just read it the other day but for the life of me can't find it right now.

Look at the picture partway down the page. I still use the lamp but am loading standing up now and don't need the mirror.

I also moved the lamp. Since it has such a tiny head, it actually fits down through the hole in the center of the toolhead and can be angled to light up station 2 or 3.

I just got a small desk-lamp with a flexible neck from my local Target store... it works perfectly, and cost less than $15.
