BBQ light needed

[andrewrob]

Now the evenings are drawing in I could do with a BBQ light. I Have a security light in the garden but because of where the BBQ is I can never quite see the food properly so end up using torches.
I was looking at something like this but was wondering if anyone on here knows of anything better?

I use a head torch.

This is a useful thing to have anyway for jobs where you need a hands-free light - searching in dark cupboards, getting logs from the shed etc.

Aldi quite often flog things like LED head torches & caps etc. Might be worth a look.

Don't really like wearing head torches though, wanted something I could clamp to the BBQ just wasn't sure how good the one I linked to is.

I'm sure it'll be perfectly fine with 5 LEDs mate. For the sake of a few quid you might as well give it a bash?

"Simply clips to the side of your BBQ" then melts

Go with the head torch

Petzl head torch. Kicks out enough power to light most of the garden never mind the BBQ

Why would it melt if you did what was displayed in the picture?

You've never seen one of my drunken BBQs have you?

I have the Petzl Zipka head torch and it's brilliant.

However it could equally fix onto a nearby tree or post. This may not be a 'neat' solution, but it works.

It looks like its mounted on a table of some sort. If that was attached to your BBQ it could work but if you had say a Webber one touch without a side panel then you would have to attach it directly to the BBQ where it would get hot.

I'd imagine that's pretty obvious, no?

Not yet.

Depending on the richness of your blood, and if you could keep one dry, I'd be straight on the Bay looking for a used video/film production light - I'd search for "Gel Light" or similar.
