After too many years I splurged on the LED light kits for my Dillons. A bit $$ but I must say should have done it sooner.
There are cheaper ways but the light thru toolhead is pretty darn impressive.

The 650 version also has a LED strip to tape inside the press riser by primer station; a bit hard for wire management and I'm not sure its completely needed but then again when the ram is up it will be nice to have side lighting so I will reserve judgement.

I got the AC power units - they make battery powered as well but that's not anything I was interested in.

Older eyes need all the help I can get . . .

Some of the best money I ever spent was for one of those, highly recommended.

I love mine!
 
I have the eBay kits on my LNL and 650. The LNL is only the through tool head light, the 650 has the side light as well. The side light makes a difference in eliminating shadows and allowing you to see everything a little easier.
 
I used the sticky lights that are battery powered and use the sticky side to stick them to my reloader. Small but it puts light where I need it the most

I looked at the different lighting methods offered a few years back. The center hole, directly overhead lights were nice,, but I found a system I've felt was better.

KMS Squared offers a LED system that mounts around the underside of the press head. It puts light all closer to each loading station.

Veteran owned & operated company. You might want to check out kmssquared.com as another excellent light system.
 
I'm running the KMS squared system too and I love it. I thought I had some pics to share but I'm coming up empty.

Ill have to email KMS - would like for my Hornady single stage but want to verify the LED 'O' diameter.
I have the L-N-L bushing version so may be larger vs the direct threaded hole.

References Hornady single stage 'O frame' press on the site - no dimensions tho except for the strip length.

Looks like a solid setup but I like the toolhead insert that doesn't need tape and just pops out for the Dillon.
