Comments about Outset Outset Magnetic Light:

This is a great little light! I attach it to the handle on the dome of my grill so when I open it, it works great as a spotlight on the food. I also detach it and use as a flashlight for finding stuff in the dark (late Fall and winter I'm cooking in the dark) and when cooking pizza, looking down the chimney to check on it without letting heat escape.

I found that sometimes the magnet didn't hold the light as securely as I would have liked, so for less than a buck, I got a 1/2" dia rare earth magnet that I leave on the dome handle and with that, the light stays put.

I have already recommended this to fellow grillers.

Comments about Outset Outset Magnetic Light:

I bought four of these with high hopes for use on my two Big Green Eggs. Now, a few weeks later they are plagued with problems on all four:

The copper on/off buttons fall off.

The lights sometimes will not stay turned on when the button is pushed.

They sometimes will never turn off.

They sometimes stay on with a low light level after they are turned off.

In general they are not very reliable at all.

This product has great potential but there seems to be some very serious reliability issues the on/off switch mechanism.
