Lighting solutions for the egg! What do you use? Post pics

What do you use for lighting the egg during night cooks besides the obvious flash light?  Would love to see some pics of what you have come up with. 

Thanks,

Was expecting lots of fire. Thread did not deliver...

I use Solar Lights mounted to my pergola that I found at lowes and used pieces from old lights to mount them. 

Not the brightest for pictures but works great to see the egg at night.

This is my solid go to. It lights up whatever I'm looking at.... Kind of what it was made for :>





I also have two of these one pointing at each egg

My wife is absolutely in love with the head lamp, she thinks it's sexy  :-B

When I am on my porch I stand in front of the porch light so it is useless.  That is on the project list.

Head lamp is a must have!

about $7 in parts from the plumbing and electrical aisle at homer depot and a $22 flashlight from where else homer depot.....hangs from the egg handle, easy on and easy off.

I operate mine just inside the garage door. I have the garage lights and a spotlight illuminating the driveway.

My egg is right on other side of that door. Just slide that out. Got for free from neighbor. I have a 2nd like it I keep in shed. Use both for corn hole at night.

Built a special grill spot off my outdoor living room.  Measured it for a gasser and an egg.  Have a fan also to blow smoke away and keep me cool in the summer.  Have a barn light hanging down.  Photo is not great, but it is attached.

All of a sudden the motion sensor lights on my back patio are feeling totally outclassed!

Sodium light fixed to the house. Great brightness, but the yellow tint is not always ideal and it takes a few seconds to light up. I would do it again. Benefit: my kids can play in the yard even when it is pitch dark outside lol.

Mounts to the handle in seconds and works awesome! Runs on batteries too.

I need to find some better lighting myself, but this works for me when the sky is grey.

Light Box and small incandescent bulbs from Home Depot.

Costco has 3 packs of head lamps currently with batteries for $ 9.99.  Great deal!  One to use & 2 to lose-

I agree with the Costco head lamps. Had 3 gave a couple to friends kids need more. Pretty sure I still have 1.

I bought these, but I lost all three. If I could only find where I stuck that package...

Change your lamp and ballast out to a metal halide. Make sure it's close in wattage( fixture is only rated for so much) then you will get rid of that yellow light and have crisp white light!

It would be cheaper to buy an LED floodlight -- produces white light and lasts 30 years.  I have one on my garage to light the driveway -- it replaced a 175 watt mercury fixture -- the LED produces MORE light and uses only 32 watts of power.  Cost me about $93.00.
