I started out candling using a small 104 lumens flashlight from Lowe's but was disappointed with what I was able to see. I returned last night and picked up a Task Force 150 lumens flashlight. I taped a couple of washers and o-rings to the top with electrical tape to make the opening smaller on the flashlight then attempted to candle again. Holy Toldedo - what a difference! I could practically make out body parts on those wiggly little chicks inside. I could even get a pretty good view inside of my Black Copper Marans eggs but was only able to determine life in 2 for sure. Still on the lighter eggs, that 150 lumens flashlight made a world of difference for me. I would totally recommend to anyone starting out to use one of those.
