The idea of having a light to grill by is a good one. The grill-0ut light is heavy when you get the six required D-cell batteries in. The handle looks and feels cheap! The light pattern on my food looks like two giant onion rings (very distracting). This is definitely not up to Weber standards!

very disappointed, and everywhere online I see this light it makes no mention of this: when I received the handle, a sticker had been added to the box stating that it fits genesis grills PRIOR TO 2004 MODELS. I tried it anyway, and it will not fit the genesis silver i just bought. The universal handle they make is clearly not for any weber grill, so i guess we're just out of luck.

As a Weber Gas Grill Loyalist I was very excited about this new cooking light and found that it worked well during the first month of use in December 2002. Then at the beginning of February 2003 both lights have begun to melt and the handle is very hot to the touch. I contacted Weber's customer service and they replaced it at no charge. I replaced the old handle and the new handle is just as hot. Weber recommended using a heat protective glove when grabbing the handle. What kind of design improvement is that? Weber usually has great/reliable products; not this one.

What I at first thought might be another one of those "gimmicks" that we really could do without has turned into an essential part of backyard grilling. I grill virtually everything and every night. (My oven is two years old and I still use the oven for storage only!) The handle was easy to install; and the lights, while they looked small, cast just the right amount to view your entree of choice.

I usually end of grilling in the dark, so this has made my job so much easier. It casts a directed light on the food without being harsh. Just enough, but not too much!

Anyone who grills at night should own this. I wish I had thought of it first.

Purchased the Weber Handle Light about 3 months ago and was impressed by the quality of the item. It was easy to install and even easier to use. It provides ample light for cooking those late-night meals or when it's just a little too dark to tell if that steak is medium or well done. Since it's battery operated, you can use it just about anywhere.

Because this handle fits the Genesis Grill I have perfectly, I ordered one. The functionality of it is great.

The only complaint I have is that they could have worked on the asthetics a little more. Since they made one handle fit all the grills, they made the handle in three pieces so that it can span different widths. The result is a handle that feels cheaper and more prone to breakage than the plastic handle that came with my grill.

Overall, a good addition to the grill for nighttime grillers.

As a Weber Gas Grill Loyalist I was very excited about this new cooking light and found that it worked well during the first month of use in June 2003. Now at the beginning of August 2003 my light has begun to melt and the handle is very hot to the touch. One of the lights will not turn on even with a battery change. I have only had this light for 60 days. Most Weber products last for years. I am currently asking amazon and weber to replace the product. I would also tell people that the light will not fit their Genesis grill as well as the original handle. I hope that my replacement will fit better and hold up under common grilling conditions.

Installed this handle light bar on my 10yr old Weber grill about (2) yrs ago. The lights worked for a few months but really did a poor job of illuminating the entire grill area. After about a year, the lights would not turn on. Replace all batteries, bulbs, tightened end caps for battery compartments - nothing worked.

Have since installed the Brookstone Grill Light. Great product, clamps onto any handle shape, robust design and construction, and super bright lights. Using it is like grilling in daylight!

If you grill year round, do yourself a favor and consider the Brookstone Grill Light.

I have owned this light since 2005 and it still works great. I have read the other reviews of this light and I too have had the handle get warm. Has not ever gotten to hot to touch or melted the plastic or lens of the bulbs. The light output is ok for what it is but if you want to take your light to the next level and turn it into one awesome light, then you need to upgrade the bulbs to the Terra Lux mini star 1. They are a 1 watt led bulb that has a light output of 50 lumens. Provides a brilliant pure white light that runs cooler than the standard bulbs and will increase the battery life. The led bulbs are reversed polarity so you will need to put the batteries in backwards to get the led lights to work. I have been using the led bulbs for awhile now and they really take this light to the next level.

The title says it all. I have a 2003 Genesis Silver Grill & install was quick & easy. A great accessory.
