Candlers?

[vicki2x2]

Can anyone recommend a decent candler? My cheap flashlite works ok, but with brown eggs, it is hard and I want to see more!!

So what are some good candlers, where do you order them and how much do they run??

I have a mini mag and I can't see a thing! I ordered a Surefire G3 flashlight. They say Surefires are really good.

I put a small lamp, with a 100w bulb, under a cardboard box and cut a hole in the top to set the egg on.

It works great.:

I use a slide projector purchased off ebay for about 10.00.

I use a maglite with a piece of tinfoil on top with a dime sized hole. Works beutifully

I use a surefire 6p with an LED upgrade:

I don't even have to take eggs out of the bator...

Day 12: note the white egg glows and the brown one is dimmer

Where can you order a sure fire from?

I got mine off their website. Just google "surfire 6p". It's about 60 bucks and I HIGHLY recommend getting rechargable batteries for it. I switch batteries out every weekend as it is my daily carry flashlight.
