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 bought one that promptly died. Weber replaced it under warranty and that one died after about 2 months. I bought another one and this one functions, but the plastic housing where it attaches to the Genesis handle is distorted due to heat. Made changin the batteries difficult.

time will tell
Yet to be determined. The previous one I purchased a few years ago started out great but apparently fell victim to the elements and became inoperable. This one appears to be a bit better designed and hopefully better sealed. We'll see.

Great light
Would RecommendThis was a gift I purchased for our new grill. The light worked great as we had to cook after the sun went down with great results due to the new light feature.

Doesn't fit Genesis Silver
Would Not RecommendThe outside of the box says that it fits Genesis series grills. Reading the web site, it says that it fits *current* Genesis and Genesis II grills. Too bad that must not be mine. There is about a half-inch gap that can't be closed in the mounting, because the Genesis Silver handle is larger.

Dead after 1 year
Would Not RecommendI bought this light in November of 2018 and died before it was a year old. Weber usually makes great products but this isn't one of them.

Great When It Works
Would Not RecommendI bought the bbq light last grilling season and was happy with it. This season the light would not turn off. I tried repositioning it, moving it and nothing worked. It does not turn off. I’ve replaced the batteries on three occasions and it does not turn off until the batteries fail. I like the product but would like it to work. Can you help?

Stays on and randomly turns on
Would Not RecommendSo excited to be a brand new Weber client. JUST got my grill home (in the photo you can still see the sticker residue on the cover) and the light is a MAJOR disappointment. It stays on and randomly turns on. It’s brand new, positioned correctly and installed correctly. I guess I should have read the reviews on this light? Hoping this isn’t a sign of a disappointing life with Weber products.

loved being able to see in the dark.
Would Not RecommendReceived as a gift for Christmas last year and loved it but it didn't last until fall. Miss it but don't know why it died so am concerned about buying again.

Gets water in the unit and dies
Would Not RecommendWas given 2 of these as a gift last Christmas. I keep my grill covered. And still the lights got water in them and quit working. Also they are not quite long enough to shine the back or my grill. This is the first and only Weber product that hadn't been up to Webers standards. Love my 22" + 18" Smokey Mountains and my Summit!

Very poor water seal
Would Not RecommendLike so many on here, the issue is that it is not waterproof. Not even one summer and I noticed the light was glowing during the day so I thought it was dying batteries and when I opened it, there was water, not moisture, water everywhere. Can't find my receipt so I guess I have 1 more item for electronic's recycling

Would Not RecommendWeber replaced it once, but when second one went I was out of 1 year warranty from original purchase and was not supplied another. Good when it worked, but don't waste your money unless you only need it for a few months. Great grills bad accessory.
