LED, fluorescent, or regular bulb for DIY Candler?

[sideWing]

I have a handful of eggs in my DIY incubator that I converted from an old DIY leopard gecko egg incubator. It's day 2 and I'm already thinking about my DIY egg candler for day 4 or 5.

I wondered if an LED light would make the light whiter and easier to see what's inside a brown egg. Anyone have a preference?

I like LED because they generate cool bright light. Incandescent have been used for decades, though.

I wondered if the LED was safer since it puts off less heat.

I've made a candler with a bunch of white LEDs that works great... Could be wrong but, imho it´s not the color that matters so much, it's the light intensity/brightness...

Either way you go, get a bright one... Brown eggs are a pain to candle!!

Good hatch!!

I was worried about that.
