Let There Be Grillight: Grilling Tools With Built-In LED Flashlights

According to the Book of Genesis, God took six days to create the universe. Six days of hard work, and then, presumably, an eternal vacation. You’d think God would get bored after a while, maybe pick up a few pet projects. That light thing was especially cool — He or She should develop that some more.

Enter the prophets behind the Grillight — a series of grilling tools that have LED flashlights built into them. These tools can provide bright, precise, and efficient lighting while you grill, and we have seen that they are good.

Whether you’re grilling at night or on a particularly dark and cavernous grill, these heavy-duty stainless steel tools will help shed some hands-free light on the situation. No longer do you have to hold your spatula in one hand and your flashlight in the other, like a TV cop securing a dark and hostile environment. Well, you still can if you want, because it’s kind of awesome.

apronThe lights are extra special because they use technology called Ideal Illumination. Rather than emit a harsh blue light, like most LED lights you’ve seen, these LEDs emit a white light reminiscent of the afternoon sun. The Grillight tools are also 100% waterproof; you can even throw these puppies in the dishwasher, provided you remove the AA-battery-powered flashlight via the quick-release button.

Whether you believe the Grillight to be inspired by God or the ultimate achievement of eons of evolution and innovation, there’s at least one thing you can accept: it’s an excellent idea. Grillight is currently selling LED spatulas, wide-head fish spatulas, grilling forks, tongs, and brushes.

The Grillight Spatula is available at Grillight’s website for $24.95. The Grillight Gift Set is available for $79.95.

Ranked: The 11 best Bill Murray movies ever
He's starred in a lot of films, but if you're a fan, you must see these Murray movies
Bill Murray from Lost in Translation

A name that is and should be widely recognized in comedy, Bill Murray has been around to provide laughs for decades. Bringing his own unique qualities to the screen, Murray has carved for himself a niche based on his personality that simply cannot be copied. Between his masterful physical comedy to his perfectly timed and hysterical line deliveries, Bill is truly a one-of-a-kind talent. From his many roles over the years, the films he stars in are either because a certain director or repeat collaborator has a great bond with him, or simply because he is able to steal the spotlight no matter the assignment. Due to this, he has been given opportunities to play cameos in later films such as Dumb and Dumber To, Get Smart, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and a cameo as himself in Zombieland, which has got to be his best cameo.
All the way from wacky and zany to introspectively deep, Bill Murray portrays a lifetime of emotions in our list of films today. If you watch him closely enough, his performative nuances will make you laugh, cry, and think about what it truly means to be an actor. Murray is loved as a human being worldwide (for the most part), who has reportedly shown his face at random bars and parties just for a kick, becoming the owner of four minor league baseball teams, spontaneously studying philosophy and history in Paris, and starting his own golf apparel line. These and many other reasons are why we are here today to celebrate his accomplishments on screen, so sit back and scroll through the 10 best Bill Murray movies ever.

The 11 best Clint Eastwood movies (acted in and directed), ranked
Here's a good place to start if you want see Eastwood's best of the best
Clint Eastwood in Heartbreak Ridge

 

If one were to mention the greats from classic Hollywood cinema (especially Western movies), Clint Eastwood’s name would be one of the first to come up. A highly successful actor, producer, and director, Eastwood has developed his own unique style of film that follows a narrative format with a monumental ending every time.
Before his illustrious cinema career, Eastwood worked as a lumberjack, a firefighter, a swimming instructor, and a bouncer to get by. Kicking off his film career in 1955 as a few unnamed extras, Clint has since spent the following over 65 years committing his life to the practice of film and acting. As a director, and unlike David Fincher and his meticulous directing, Eastwood has been known to get what he wants in one take without storyboarding, rehearsing, or changing the script at all. Considering some of the great directorial works he has produced, this is impressive beyond belief but not exactly unexpected from a character like Clint.
Since there are so many Eastwood features to pick from (72 acting credits on IMDB), this list is about the films he has directed and acted in. This means that we will, unfortunately, have to omit some of his greatest performances to date (Dirty Harry, A Fistful of Dollars, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Escape from Alcatraz, Hang ‘Em High, etc.), despite them being as great as they are.
