I bought this a while back, and it is so bright it you can't even look at it. I haven't hatched again since I bought it, but I think it will work great!

hmm, maybe as comparison, here i bought a 5 led torch for about $2, a 14 led lantern for about $2 too. led is great for candling as it can produce *white* bright light and some led possess good ability to only *earn* really little hot temp so no egg gonna broken.

You are correct, mulia24. LED is cool, low energy, and not hot. Good lights.

This is great info...i tried using a desk lamp with 100 watt bulb and rigged a collector with a hole in it to channel the light to more of an egg sized point, but was never sure of what i saw. i am going to be on the look out for an led light before incubating again.

I also think a "look what i found" section would be a great idea, especially for newbies like me.

I've gotten 2 at TSC in the last month for $2.99 each. Cheap! Love it for candling.

I bought one of those too. Love it! I have the fatter one, didn't see the thinner variety but I'll have to look next time I'm there.

I have the TSC one... $2.99 by the register... comes in silver red or blue... love it.. if it doesnt seem to be bright enough buy better batteries for it. My husband finally went and got his own cause I threatened death and mayhem if him and the boy took off with it again....

Agreed we should have maybe if enough people pm Nifty he would add one for us Because that would be great to pass on the items others have found.
