LED candling: how?

I read in cueball's recent post that he had candled via LED and could tell that the future hatchlings were normals; how does one go about doing this? I am dying to see my little eggling.

With an LED, duh! no honestly i believe the procedure is identical to regular candleing nix the candle (J/K) nix the regular flashlight....u use an LED light.

you can pic them up at almost any tool store or Walmart maybe...

awesome sig:cool: :rockon:

Hot boots lol.
I am def. getting an LED.

oh yeah, good luck to Gin! i forgot to say that. i hope that the egg hatches!

The advantage on LED is that it provides concentrated high intensity light without the heat from an incandescent bulb. I use a small(4" long) light with a dime sized head. This allows you to place the head of the light on the curved end of the egg and penetrate with light. I have had a good look at the pattern for a couple of weeks now. I hope this helps :)
