What Customers Are Saying
The product offers bright illumination and automatic on/off functionality when opening and closing the grill lid. However, many users report issues with water resistance, unreliable operation, and poor build quality, including melting or warping of the light housing. While some had a positive experience, the majority of reviews indicate the product is prone to failure and not well-suited for outdoor use.

Would Not RecommendI just purchased this light. There is no‘off’ button. I used our grill, went out to cover it an hour later, and the light is still on. There is no way to shut it off!!!!

Was great!
Would Not RecommendI bought 2 lights 22 months ago and they were awesome. Still on the factory batteries! This week I took my grill cover off and 1 was on dimly. Couldn't get it to turn off or all the way on. The 2nd is completely dead. I tried new batteries, thought that fixed the first light, but no. It's dim when closed, bright when the grill is open. Won't turn off.

Didn’t even last a season
Would Not RecommendWe bought the summit grill a year ago and one of the led light didn’t even last more than 5x before it became dim and non-functional. The other one is working fine. This one must be a lemon. Shouldn’t this be covered under warranty?

Good light, but changing batteries sucks
Would Not RecommendBought this and used it for two full seasons for pork butts, briskets, and prime ribs that sometimes needed to be started before dawn to enjoy for lunch or early dinners. Last week, the battery finally died. When I opened the unit to change the 3 AAA batteries, I found that getting it back together and keeping the batteries in place was nearly impossible. I finally gave up and bought a good headlamp.

Disappointing
Would Not RecommendReceived a Weber grill light for Christmas. Have tried It a few times. Performance is not consistent. Sometimes it works. Most of the time it doesn’t. Light was installed on my Weber grill which is also covered. Disappointed

Plastic Melts
Would Not RecommendOn my second light. The first melted back exposing interior to moisture. I replaced on my own dime and can see this one starting to distort also. When first installed it works beautifully, but does not hold up under normal grilling conditions.

Complete Junk! Not water resistant.
Would Not RecommendPurchased two of these 3 months ago and they're already not working. Both have drops of water inside them despite being stored under a water tight cover. Not happy at all!

We are very sorry to hear about this issue. When installed and positioned correctly, the handle light should power off once the lid is closed. However...
