Egg Candlers - any reviews on these?

[barrelmom]

Part of the reason we incubate is to be able to watch the development of the eggs. While I wouldn't say that money is no object, I would like to find the best candler I can and am willing to spend up to about $100. Being able to see inside black Copper Marans eggs would be a huge plus.

I found these two below and was wondering if anyone had any personal experience with either one. Thanks!

How about getting yourself a very bright LED light and build wooden box? I use the compact florescent light bulb with baby milk bottle. It works great with white and brown egg. I can't comment on the black copper marans because don't have any to try.

I have a coleman max led light I got at Walmart. Its 90 lumens and pais about 18 dollars for it. They have one rthats 110 lumens for 29. I have some Marans X eggs that are pretty dark not as dark as BCM's but I can see in them just fine.
