Why We Love Grill Lights
What's better than barbecuing into the evening hours, enjoying a cold one on your deck or patio? In most cases, simply adding a little task lighting to your grill area can improve this after-dark culinary and social experience. Grill lights bathe your barbecue in light, casting a glow that helps you to know just when to flip your food or whisk it off your grill and onto your family's or guests' plates.
Where Grill Lighting Work Best
Where better to illuminate than your grill itself? Barbecue lights are designed for a very specific purpose -- to cast light on the food you are cooking. Therefore, most grill lights attach directly to the stainless steel surface of the side tables of your grill. The beauty of these lights is that they can twist and flex thanks to an adjustable arm that allows you to move the light to the places you need it most. Better illumination during grilling season means better meal outcomes, especially related to desired doneness and avoiding unnecessary char. A single, convenient push-button on/off switch makes it easy to flick on your grill light even if you're knuckle-deep in barbecue sauce.
A Grill Light for Every Style
A far cry from our parents' barbecue days, modern grill lights offer a choice of many different colored finishes far beyond standard stainless steel. Consider both textured and non-textured styles in metallic or flat shades. You can also find different sizes of BBQ lights, with larger and smaller options to suit your own personal grill area, all from Focus Industries and Kichler. Choose from halogen or LED light options as well, giving you more control over your light source and its output. Depending on your preferences, you can also consider whether you prefer a light that mounts through the side table of your grill or one that features a clamp for a less permanent placement.
How to Choose the Best Grill Lights
Before you choose a light for your grill, consider how you like to move around your outdoor kitchen workspace. Is all of your attention devoted to the grill surface itself, or do you also prepare food on a side burner or other area? Envisioning just how you like to work at your grill will help you to determine the style of grill light that will serve you best. You should also keep in mind the height of the adjustable arm and the shape of the light fixture itself. These factors can affect how well your light performs in its given space. Be sure to also consider your outdoor area's color scheme and décor to help you decide on a light that will complement your patio or deck's overall look.

Other Considerations
Where you place your grill can impact your lighting choices as well. A grill placed near a wall or structure may benefit from outdoor wall lights. An outdoor floor lamp can cast light while also adding a lovely décor accent. Colorful LED outdoor lights create an otherworldly swimming experience for your guests while you prepare a late meal. Garden lights add understated beauty to the overall scheme of lighting effects you are creating. Using a little imagination, you can find many creative outdoor lighting possibilities to enhance the look of your home and your patio or deck.
