Progressive Lighting
It seems that progressive operators are always adding lights and I'm waiting for my latest purchase to arrive. I had come in from hunting a couple of mornings ago and went straight to my Load-Master. I was wearing a Powercap, these are baseball caps with the LEDs in the brim, and needed more lighting on to see the powder in the case and instinctively touched the bill to turn the lights on. One of the moments, literally! I think I will just stop chasing the "light" and use my cap or the LED lights that slide on the bill of a cap. Everywhere I look, my view is flooded with light.

Re: Progressive Lighting
Great idea! Never thought of that before... I still have some camping headlights lying around somewhere.

I think as black powder burner you need to get an old coal miners carbide lamps.

Re: Progressive Lighting
Here is the Powercap my sister gave me, I believe it retails for $20. If a person is standing in front of you, they could not tell that the cap has lights. Very cool design in many colors, you can remove the batteries and wash it. If I go out somewhere at night, it is always on my head. Never know when you will need a light.
I've been using these lights while hunting for several years now, my small town hardware store sells them for $5. Never thought about using them on a cap for reloading but it would be better than any fixed light.

Re: Progressive Lighting
I'm not a "hat guy" but I was thinking about mounting one of those "cap lights" on my Co-Ax. Just need some more figgerin' on where/how to mount one. I think I need to see what I'm doin' a bit better...

I received my LED Clip Light in yesterday. It is going to be a good light. I clipped it on the explosion shield.
The light was $12 shipped. You can buy them from various locations in Asia but I'm not doing that any more simply because of the shipping time and returns. I bought a rifle scope, it took six weeks to get it and it failed and the shipping to return it was more than I paid for it. I will run the light on a rechargeable battery pack rather than the four AAs.
