I am working on my first set of eggs in the incubator. Do I need a special light to candle with? These are Buff Orpington eggs and are light to medium brown. I have been using a LED flashlight and think that last night I saw veins. (WHHHHOOOO HOOOOOOO!). I looked on ebay and this is one of the items I found.

I can tell you for a fact that these are from Home Depot. I know this because we bought 2 packs of 6 of them just a few month ago. This is what I have been using to candle with for now. Is it good enough? Do I need something different?
 
i just use an LED flashlight. no sense in spending money when a flashlight wooks fine. unless u have super dark eggs i can see buying one. i have blue orphington eggs that are brown and a flashlight works for them

to get the best results just use a L.E.D light
