Anyone with a modicum of common sense would place the grill and
lighting fixture so that there are no interfering shadows. Placing an
LED fixture so it points to the grill from behind the one cooking will
illuminate it and the entire surrounding area better than a dinky
miner's lamp and without shadows on the grill... the lid won't cast
any shadows on the grate if the light is placed behind you and to the
side... placing the fixture so it strikes the grill lid as you would
do is as low IQ as placing a bicycle headlight backwards so it shines
in your face. Even on a bright sunny day the lid will cast shadows on
the grates unless one moves the grill and positions it so the sun
strikes from behind and from the side of the one cooking. The LED
fixture on my garage that lights my driveway can be swiveled 180º
horizontally and 90º vertically... there are many configurations of
LED fixtures... some are designed to be placed overhead on a building
or a pole, or on a tree, used like a lampost, so it shines directly
over the grill so there are no shadows regardless which way one sets
the grill or where the cook stands. I have this 70 Watt monster way
up high on my barn, thirty feet up, there are no shadows:

HTF do you come up with such idiocy... don't answer, I already know...
the dwarf favors miner's lamps because all his life he's dreamed of
being a proctologist but since he wasn't nearly smart enough to get
into medical school he decided instead to be the asshole. LOL
