Check the batteries as soon as you receive the unit to make sure they aren't leaking!

When the light arrived it would not power on. I opened it up, checked the 3 LEAKING Amazon Basics AAA batteries that had been installed and they were all DEAD! I Had to clean the leakage juice from the inside of the unit and replace the batteries with three Duracell Procell that I just happened to have in the house. I installed the light on my new Weber Genesis II Barbecue and it works but does not completely turn off when you close the lid......just becomes half as bright as when the lid is open. Is this right? Does it stay half on and then turn off completely after 30 minutes as it states in the manual? There is no way to actually turn the light off. Maybe it's so that you can actually find your barbecue if it's completely dark outside......?? OK, it's been over 30 minutes with the lid closed and the light is STILL ON! I guess I am going to have to return it for a replacement......oh joy!
