Time to replace the Weber lights I have on the eggs. Pricing has almost doubled since I bought back in 2012. What are y’all using now that it is getting dark earlier? I want something I can attach to the egg and will handle the weather.

I attach a headlamp to my head. Lights what I'm looking at, leaves me hands-free. Works great: you must have to remember to put it on (and maybe take it off).

+1 for the headlamp. For the price, you'll be able to use it for other things too. I've tried a few grill light type of things, and they all crapped out relatively quickly.
Not what you asked for, but I strung up some LED patio lights from Costco a few years ago and that solved my eggdom lighting issue. Controlled by an outdoor smart plug, so easy to switch on and off when I'm cooking.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
Headlamps here. Buy a pack or two of them every year at Costco to replace the ones my kids steal from me.

@Mattman3969 I have been using the Weber lites since I first saw them here. I clean the lenses every year and they still work well. I did have to do some extra wrenching and metal bracketing to get the lite to work on the new LBGE dome due to the wide handle but no issues with the lites themselves.
You do have to change the batteries...Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
@lousubcap - mine have gotten to the point that I was having to smack em to get them to come on for a brief period. New batteries and good smackin aren’t working now. All the high heat wok cooks may have taken a toll on them.I had to do the same thing when I replaced the bands on the large. I actually drilled a couple of holes and mounted with some extra cinch bolts from the old band.-----------------------------------------analyze adapt overcome2008 -Large BGE. 2013- Small BGE and 2015 - Mini.

I am looking for a new light situation too. I have a headlamp but I don’t like my head being squeezed. Maybe a hat? I read a long time ago some folks on here got together and @Dutch bought the group egghead hats with a built in light.Charleston, SC

https://biggreenegg.com/product/new-flexible-grill-light/These are the bomb. I like that I can use them in many situations including non grilling things. They really put out a lot of light and the flexible stem is very adjustable. Nice product IMO. Just got two of these last month.

Thanks @pgprescott I will check it outCharleston, SC

I agree with @pgprescott that the BGE flexible grill light works well. It is not waterproof, however.It's "Smokin Gal", not "Smoking Al".

I’ve used a head lamp bolted to a hard hat now for 18 years! Very comfortable and easy on and off. Besides that when it’s raining or snowing the hard hat keeps that moisture off my glasses.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

I was at the dentist yesterday and was interested in the head lamp the hygenist used attached to her glasses- she said it was a $3000 device. I want something light that wont hang on my neck or band around my head. I would love some kind of a visor set upCharleston, SC

I'm a proponent of the headlamp. Runs on 1 AA battery and is weather proof. If I had an outdoor kitchen setup I might be more inclined to have a more permanent light source. Until that day comes, the headlamp works great and I have light where I need it and both hands free.
