Cool Light Candler?

[cherndon712]

Has anybody used these? My ideas just aren't showing me much but dark and light areas of eggs...I can't see veins or anything so I want to try something different!

what are you using now?

I have my DH's headlamp, it has LED lights in it...It is REALLY bright, just apparently not bright enough. I can't even SEE in my Ameracauna eggs.

That's strange because I use a small LED flashlight and I can see into my brown and blue eggs very well. Maybe the beams on the headlamp are spaced too far apart? Just guessing - the 2 beams on the flashlight are very close together?????

I use a LED upgraded Surefire 6p... you can't just go by led, you have to go by ratings and reflector type. My one led has more power than those horrendously silly 24 led junks you find in some stores that have no output.

I have a cool light candler and it works well. I have used a mini led flashlight with great success also.

I have a Surefire G2 - the camo one.

I thought all LED were the same...Guess Not!! Mine has about 12 bulbs in a 1 1/2" round beam....I put the eggs right on top of it, but still...I tried using a lamp w/ a cardboard box and it worked a little better. I looked at the sure fires...They're expensive, but I'll be getting one!! IS this the one you have?

I might go with the 9P or G3...Think that's overkill?

I just use a little flashlight and cup my hand. I have also used a lightbulb under a box.
