Product Description

Amazon.com Review

When barbecuing, the chef always risks burning that carefully-seasoned rump roast to a crisp. Whether a minor household emergency calls the chef away from duty or the grill heats up with unusual speed, blackened hot dogs and charred veggie kabobs happen. Thus the barbecue aficionado must do his or her best to show vigilance over the open flame, keeping the eyes on the juicy, tender prize. This task becomes particularly challenging during the winter months when daylight ceases before the typical workday ends. The barbecue specialists at Weber recognize the need for visibility in grilling and the overall poor quality of built-in barbecue lights. To combat these challenges, Weber created their Grill Out handle light.

The handle light features water- and heat-resistant nylon housing, reinforced with glass for increased durability. Three LED bulbs illuminate the grill, activated by a tilt-switch sensor when the grill lid rises. A manual on/off button also ignites the light. The LED bulbs shine for a lengthy 10,000-hour lifetime while three AAA batteries power the light for approximately 20 hours. Weber designed the handle light for Weber Genesis and Summit grill models, though the two included mounting brackets also may accommodate other grills with circular thermoplastic or round stainless-steel handles. Mounting instructions and hardware accompany the light, but batteries must be purchased separately. This item weighs 12 ounces upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

4.0 out of 5 stars Circular Handles Only, January 15, 2006

This review is from: Weber 62101 Grill Out Handle Light (Lawn & Patio)

Although this is a nifty little item, my Weber grill was not a recent enough model for this to work with. The light comes with two handle adapters, but both are for circular style handles (mine is rectangular). The tilt sensor works well. In addition, you can just use the easy to access on/off button. The light is not extremely bright and is a bit yellowish, but it will give you enough to grill by.

This review is from: Weber 62101 Grill Out Handle Light (Lawn & Patio)

I wasn't sure how well three LED's would provide enough light for my Genesis B, but this product really impressed me.

I no longer need to wedge myself as close as I can get to my porch light and attract every bug in the neighborhood to my back yard (and food!). The tilt-activated on/off works flawlessly, and installing it took minutes.

It looks great on the grill handle, and battery life is really good, too. I bought this in May (when it cost $10 more!) and haven't needed to replace the batteries yet. And I ususally use this about 3 times a week.

I'm actually kicking around buying one as a spare, just in case.

This review is from: Weber 62101 Grill Out Handle Light (Lawn & Patio)

All of the above reviews are correct. It is nifty, it iluminates the grill quite well, its a great gadget, etc.

BUT I've had mine for eight months now, and by the third month, it started to loose its grip on the handle (because of the heat I guess), so much that it will not hold its own weight and slides so the light will not iluminate the grill anymore.

When you close the lid, this thing is supposed to turn itself off automatically, it did that at first, now it stays dimly lit, so everytime I close the lid when grilling I have to turn it off, this kind of ruins the whole auto-shut-off feature.

Please note that my grill is always under a roofed terrace and always with the plastic cover when not used.

This product is not up to Weber quality standards, not even close.
