Grill year round (in near daylight) with this light!,
By Year round griller (Princeton, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handle-Mount Grill Light
Installed this on my Weber Grill that has a non functioning Weber replacement handle with (2) built in lights. The Weber lights were never bright and the entire product failed within a year.
This Brookstone Grill Light is SUPER BRIGHT, has a robust design and will clamp onto virtually any handle shape. It illuminates the entire grill area. It uses (4) D batteries so it's much larger and heavier than the newer products with 3 or more LED lights. However, the brightness and total grill coverage of this Brookstone light is superior to any LED products. Grilling anytime after 4pm (in the dark winter months) is a pleasure with this light. * * * * * UPDATE - after 2 yrs of use: This light has been working great since my original review 11/20/06. Here's some observations regarding: -- Weatherproof... the light has been on the grill handle continously and is sometimes covered with the Weber Grill cover. It's been rained on many times. There's a thin rubber gasket on the battery access cover that may have fallen off when loading the batteries. -- Won't turn on... there's an automatic shutoff feature if the light is left on (to not drain the batteries). Sometimes, in order to reset the auto shutoff, the battery door has to be opened then closed. This resets the internal clock and switch, then the light will turn on again. -- Heat deformation... the unit has a pivoting connection between the light and the mounting clamp allowing you to adjust the location of the lighted zone when the grill is open. When the grill door is closed, I've always pivoted the light away from the bottom of the grill (hot area). Not had any heat related problems.

Best Grill Light,
By
This review is from: Handle-Mount Grill Light
I agree with Year Round Griller.This is the brightest battery operated grill light that I have found. I have tried the various LED lights from 12-26 lights and they are just not bright enough for complete illumination. I have a Charbroil 3 burner commercial series gas grill and I would need at leat 2 twenty six light LED lamps to light the whole grill surface. The Brookstone grill light uses Cold Cathode fluorecent bulbs that are much brighter and don't need replacing. It lights my entire grill surface better and brighter than 2 LED lamps. It pivots and has a versatile handle mount for easy mounting and light adjustment. The only slight draw back is that it is a bit bulky mounted on the grill handle, but it is well worth it for the amount of light you get.This is a quality light worth the investment, it will make night time grilling much easier. Try e-bay for occasional listings at a cheaper price. I have read some other reviewers comments regarding heat resistance and would like to comment. I do not leave the light attached to the grill handle unless I am grilling at night, it only takes a few seconds to attach. When your lid is closed, simply pivot the light head away from the grill to reduce heat transfer to the unit. If you are grilling with the lid open on high heat for extremely long periods the light could get very hot, remember heat rises. Most gas grilling is done with the lid down, but if you are grilling thin meats or something else that cooks quick you shouldn't need the grill lid open that long anyway.Remember this is just an aftermarket light. Mine is still going strong after a year with 1 battery change, I don't leave the light on unless I am looking at my food. Happy Grilling!!

Shame...,
By
This review is from: Handle-Mount Grill Light
I bought this light with great expectations - the reviews were good, etc. We got it and it was great - great light output, attached easily, however, it did not last. After just 6 months of use it died, and Brookstone would not replace or refund my money. I think $50 is a lot to spend on an item that will end up in a landfill 6 month after purchase - it's a shame.
