That's great!
Thanks!!
Now I need to go get a flash light! lol...
My 9 light led is different. the top doesn't come off like yours. I guess that's why what you said in the other post wasn't making sense to me.

I will be giving this a try and get to the Home Depot tomorrow!
 
I have an LED flash light and I use a big red plastic cup with a hole punched out at the bottom. I put the flashlight in the cup and set the eggs over the hole. It seems to work for me. My flashlight is long and skinny and has a stand, so I don't need to hold it while candling. I think it was $10 at Walmart.

I use these cups for everything since they are cheap and we have a bunch left over from Summer parties. GBS scoop, candler, cut down to raise up the feeders and waterers to prevent birds from pooping in them...
