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.

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.
Honest reviews on Weber 62101 Grill Out Handle Light
I'm very happy with this light, it fits on my Weber Summit perfectly, installation was relatively easy and only needed a screw driver. When installing you do need to be aware of where you are positioning the light so that it doesn't hit the control knobs on the grill. I haven't had to change the batteries on it yet, but as I recall it isn't too hard to change them. The lights appear to be LED's so they should never burn out on you.It should light up the 4-burner Weber Summit pretty well, but since I have the 6-burner model I'm considering getting a second one.
It does have a sensor in it so when you open the lid it turns on and when you close it, the light dims for a couple of seconds and then shuts off. It is very convenient, and way better than dragging a flashlight out side to check your food.
A couple of cautions: Make sure that this light will fit your model, I've heard of people getting this light and not realizing that it is designed for specific models. I would also bring your attention to the fact that in the instructions it says to remove the batteries if you are not going to use this light for a while, I imagine that this is to prevent the batteries from becoming corroded.

I purchased two of these lights for my Weber Genesis e320 grill and they are wonderful. It's nice to have them mounted right on either side of the handle, where they are not in the way at all. They turn on automatically when the lid is opened and turn off when closed. Others had mentioned the lights staying on when you close the lid; they do go "dim" for a very short while, then turn off when in the "Auto" mode, but I don't see that this would cause any big problem with battery life, as they are extremely dim and only for a very short time. They also can be turned completely off when you don't need them (such as during the day.) They are fairly bright, but they could be brighter. It's enough light to grill by with no problem though. I would recommend having two of them for sure, unless you have a very small grill.
