For evening grilling, a reliable barbecue grill light can be an invaluable tool for safely cooking your food. Most grill lights have a clamp design to clip to a cool surface so you can keep an eye on your food as it cooks. LEDs are a common bulb choice for their powerful and long-lasting light. Though the light should be kept a good distance from the flames, you should look for lights that are heat-resistant anyway. Weather resistant models can protect the batteries and lends to a longer lifespan. The head should be easy to angle and adjust so that you can focus on the right area, and lights with easy on/off functionality are useful when your hands are grimy.
