Egg Table Lighting

Lowe's and home depot sell a variety of outdoor light fixtures with weather proof housings. You could add a couple of 2x uprights off the back of your table and mount the lights to those.

I'd be afraid of attracting bugs if the area is too lit up. I'd wear a nice headband with LED on it.

I really like those lights. Would you happen to know the actual part number?

+2 on the headband  Had one already and works great.

Weber has LED lights that attach to the BGE lid handle.  Works great, when you close the lid it automatically goes off and when you lift the handle it goes on and shines directly on to the grate. Got if from my BGE dealer.   

For those to work, I think you need the old style handle. Have the light and the handle bolts are to wide to mount.

@SteveListello  Do you happen to know the model number on the Weber light you installed?  On what size BGE did you install it?

I may have to look in to this. I usually drag my living room lamp out with on of those 50 foot orange extension cords...

I bought a outdoor flood light fixture kit from Home Depot for like 12 bucks and and then went to the extension cord section and found grounded extension cord sets without the female end. (They were replacement cords for frayed line or cut line for power tools) I then wired it up within a few minutes. I had an arbor type awning and placed the light behind my head which provided the perfect amount of light and even lit the yard up enough to play corn hole after dark.

My 2 cents..get as much light as you can.

@henapple...No I recently moved to TN and had to leave the awning I built at my old house and can not seem to find a picture. My new set up has an umbrella that I can extend over the grill that I can hang a light from.

@henapple...Nashville

Wish there were an edit feature on this forum.  Anyway, a little elementary research turns up the fact that the 6503 did fit the old style handles, but the new handles are a no-go with it.

I got my lights at Menards.  They are Patriot Lighting Pylos lights.  (http://www.menards.com/main/lighting-fans/outdoor-lights/landscape/pylos-1-light-31-silver-finish-with-black-accents-task-lamp/p-2049835-c-7909.htm)

I'll give these lights a mixed review.  I bought them in November of 2012.  They're rated as outdoor lighting, and they've been installed on the table outside since then.  One of them developed a leak in the sealed switch, and I was unable to turn it on several times because the switch was frozen.  It even got to the point that it would blow my GFCI every time I tried to turn that lamp on.  (I'm using LED bulbs in both of the lamps for electrical efficiency.  Very little power is drawn by these lights.)  There is also a rubber gasket that I think is just for cosmetic purposes at the back of the lamp itself that has weathered and brok on both of the lights in only 3 to 4 months of outdoor use.

I exchanged the light that was shorting my GFCI this past Spring.  Menards gave me no issues at all even though I didn't have the receipt.  I wasn't very pleased with the quality of the lights at that point, but they're working fine now.  Design-wise, they are perfect for this use.

My only complaint now, is that the flexible necks aren't long enough to reach around and light the thermometer, so I still need a flashlight to read the dome temp if I'm not using my Cyber-Q.
