Something I made for candling really dark eggs.

The candler on my incubator wasn't bright enough to see inside the Marans eggs I was trying to hatch so I put this together. It's simple but works quite well. A 720 lumen LED bulb with the plastic bubble removed, a socket and extension cord and a section of toilet paper roll with aluminum foil stuck to the inside and a small piece of cardboard with a hole cut in it. The egg is a deep chocolate brown.

Nice and creative..I can copy that, altho my eggs aren't that dark yet.
Thanks
