Justin Kobylka is pretty far from a beginner and has learned along the way what works for him. He obviously has his mix down so he would have no need for the light deflector.
I still consider myself a beginner and have used a deflector for all my clutches and luckily have not experienced one bad egg so far. I don't know if my mix has been good or not but never had to be concerned about it because I used the deflector.
My point still stands, there is no reason for a beginner not to use one.
I'm glad your remaining eggs seem to be doing well and have nothing against you, like I said, I'm a beginner as well. I just feel Debs write up is a great help to the community here and think if people here decide to try breeding, it should be taken advantage of so hopefully they run into as few problems as possible.
