Step 1: Dark environment
Use the lamp in a dark room for the clearest view inside the egg.
Step 2: Turn on the lamp
Insert batteries and switch on. The LED provides bright light with minimal heat.
Step 3: Position the egg
Hold the egg gently and place the wider end (air sac) against the light.
Step 4: Check development
Look for veins, movement, or a dark embryo to confirm progress.
Step 5: Candle at key stages
Best done around days 7, 14, and 18 of incubation.
Step 6: Handle with care
Avoid over-handling and return eggs promptly to maintain temperature.
Tip: With practice, candling becomes quicker and helps improve hatch success.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the egg candling lamp work?
The lamp uses a high-intensity LED light to shine through the eggshell, allowing you to see inside the egg. This helps identify fertility, monitor embryo development, and detect any issues early without damaging the egg
Is the egg candling lamp safe for developing embryos?
Yes. The lamp is designed to produce minimal heat, ensuring safe and gentle illumination. This protects fragile embryos while still providing clear visibility during inspection.
When should I candle my eggs during incubation?
Candling is typically done around days 7, 14, and 18 of incubation. This allows you to track development, confirm fertility, and remove non-viable eggs to improve hatch success.
What types of eggs can this candling lamp be used for?
The lamp is suitable for a range of poultry eggs, including chicken, duck, quail, and other small to medium-sized eggs, making it a versatile tool for backyard keepers.
What power source does the egg candling lamp use?
The lamp operates using 2 x AA batteries, providing reliable, portable power for multiple candling sessions without needing mains electricity.
