Sheds Some Nice Light on Grilling Sep 01, 2010
This does a nice job of lighting up the entire cooking surface of my Weber Genesis grill. I'm not crazy about the hard switch (that makes sure the light won't turn on), but it gets the job done. The instructions were pitiful. As simple as this light is, there were some parts of putting it together that were not obvious and this was not described at all (for instance, I couldn't figure out how the battery compartment opened and the instructions didn't help; I was afraid I might damage it). However, I did figure it out and it works great. It also looks good and looks like it belongs.
Regarding the fact that the auto-sensing mechanism doesn't shut the unit off completely, I don't think it's a design flaw. When I first turn the light on with the grill cover closed, it does not come on at all. When I open it, it comes on full. When I close it, it goes to a dim mode. It is my opinion that this is a feature, designed to light up the handle so you can find it in complete darkness. I don't grill in "complete darkness", but I suppose if you did this could come in handy. While it might not be a smart design decision for most users, I don't believe it's a design flaw.

 Let there be light Aug 06, 2010
This is a great solution for a weber grill that does not have great light around it. I bought two and put them on both sides of the the handle and the LED lights are great. Battery life so far is really good. Buy one or two.
Best idea since sliced bread. Jul 23, 2010
I often grill when it's dark, and my grill is situated too far from the patio light to be able to see. This is the perfect answer. It provides a sufficient amount of light focused on the cooking surface.

pushing back darkness Jul 19, 2010
Well, mid Summer is probably not the best time to do this review... It stays light so late in my area that I haven't really needed it yet. As it gets into Fall and Winter (we grill year round if we can clear a path through the snow) it should be quite useful. Typically the problem has been that the grill and lid have the lights on the deck coming from the wrong direction. An overhead light should help. It seems bright enough when I did go out to check it out after dark, its automatic, and it can be turned off if it isn't needed. Guess I'll have to see how it holds up when the weather gets cold.

 Works fine, but has a couple of issues Jun 30, 2010
I don't use the auto-on function because when you close the grill the light doesn't turn completely off. If you forget about that, your batteries will drain overnight. This is a design flaw as far as I concerned. But it's not a deal-breaker because there's an on/off switch that works just fine.
The housing for this light is plastic and it gets pretty hot when the grill is over 500 degrees. It hasn't melted in a year of grilling so I stopped worrying about it, but all that heat can't be good for it.
