Best candler?

[Knittycat]

Ok folks, what is the best, brightest candler out there? I mean, I wanna be able to see my bones through my hands when I put my palm over the sucker.

Well. actually if the candler is to bright it can harm your eggs! I just use a good flashlight for all my eggs. However most of my eggs are lighter in color!

I know the heat can hurt the eggs. I was unaware that plain light could too. I just want to be sure of what I'm seeing! I'm not planning on leaving it on the eggs for many minutes, just a few seconds to check what's going on in there. What's your suggestion?

I like the Brinsea high powered ova scope candler. It works well, even on blue eggs. Marans eggs are difficult no matter what you candle with, at least that's been my experience, but much easier with this than other methods I've tried.
