By UniqueTek
The Light-Load II™ illuminates the shellplate of your Dillon 550, 650 or 750 reloading press. It mounts in the central toolhead hole and shines light directly onto the shellplate so you can more easily see and monitor the reloading process. A neoprene bushing (included) supports the Light-Load™ in the central toolhead hole.

Powered by Rechargeable Lithium Polymer Battery
The Light-Load II™ is powered by a rechargeable lithium polymer (LiPo) battery*, which is more economical than the AAA battery of the original Light-Load™, and it has longer life between recharging. On the Low setting (recommended) you will be able to load for about 4 hours without interruption. And it can be fully recharged in just 45 minutes!

5 Light Levels
• Ultra-Low: 2 Lm
• Low: 22 Lm (The recommended setting for reloading.)
• Medium: 230 Lm *
• High: 550 Lm *
• Strobe: 550 Lm *

* Steps down to 65 Lm after 2 min to prevent overheating and preserve battery life.
NOTE: If you need a bit brighter light than the Low setting, you can start at Medium, let it fall back to 65 Lm, and load there … but the battery life will be significantly reduced.

Also Fits in Any Unused Die Station!
The neoprene bushing supports the Light-Load II™ in any hole up to 7/8" diameter. For example, on an XL 650 or XL 750 press, the Light-Load II™ can be installed in the Station #3 die position if a Powder Check System is not installed.

Easily Moved!
Regardless of which press or toolhead location you install the Light-Load II™, it can be quickly and easily moved from one toolhead to another or one press to another.


Also Works on Hornady Lock-N-Load AP™ Press!
The Light-Load II™ also fits the central hole of the Hornady Lock-N-Load® AP™ press die plate.


Also makes a Great Keychain Pocket Light!
The Light-Load II™ is the perfect keychain light! It is compact enough to fit easily in you pocket.


Q&A
Q: Can it be used with the charger attached during long reloading sessions?
A: Yes. Using the Light-Load™ II while plugged into a charger is OK occasionally. But operating continuously in this manner will result in overcharging and shorten the life of the LiPo battery.

Q: Can it be used on an RCBS Pro 2000 Press?
A: Yes. But it will require drilling a 9/16″ hole in the center of the die plate. The die plate is solid metal and plenty strong enough that this will not weaken the die plate.

Q: Can it be used on an RCBS Pro Chucker 5 or 7 Press?
A: Yes. But if you do not have an unused die station, it will require drilling a 9/16″ hole in the center of the die plate. The cast iron die plates are plenty strong enough that this will not weaken the die plate. You can similarly drill a hole in the aluminum UniqueTek CNC Pro Chucker 7 Die Plate.

Not Just for Reloading!
This LED Light was originally designed as a keychain light. In addition to a keychain light, you can use it multiple ways with the included accessories!
• Lanyard: Hang it from you wrist.
• Bead Chain: Hang it around you neck.
• Reversible Clip: Clip it to your pocket or hat brim.

Note: Due to the close spacing of dies on the Dillon RL 550 press, there may be clearance issues if you have non-Dillon accessories installed on the toolhead. For example, the Light-Load II™ will not fit onto an RL 550 press that has been outfitted with a Hornady Case Activated Powder Drop.

It took on the washing machine and won!My light was in my pocket and was not removed prior to going into the washing machine. When I discovered it was when my wife said, I washed it by accident. I spent some time letting it dry out and then placed it in the charging mode and to my amazement it is still functioning perfectly. It is a handy addition for pocket carry, as well as, using on my Dillon 550 loading machine. Written by Ben on Thu 16 Jun 2022 10:15:51 PM GMT
The 22 lumen Level it is More Than AdequateJust wanted you to know that I used the Light-Load II on my Dillion 650 press and at the 22 lumen level it is more than adequate for seeing the shell plate and even inside the cases before I insert a bullet. I haven’t used it for any other purpose, but I did check out the different settings. There is a slight learning curve with the on off button, but once I figured it out it worked fine. I am looking forward to trying it out on my 550 press. I will give you more feedback as I use it more. Written by J Olson on Fri 24 Jul 2020 8:24:46 PM GMT
