As much fun as it is to make your kid hold a flashlight so you can see the food on your grill at night, there's a relatively simple and less shaky alternative: magnetic flashlights. Whether you need more illumination at the grill or while you’re working under the hood of your car in the dark, they come in handy more often than you'd think. Amazingly, you can now get one for under $10 at Walmart.
The Daybetter Rechargeable Grill Light is on sale for $9, which is $11 off the original $20 price tag. This item boasts over 20 five-star ratings at Walmart and comes with free shipping to boot at the moment.

There are some cheap flashlights you can find at the convenience store, so why bother with this grill light? Well, perhaps because it’s affordable but not “cheap,” as it comes stocked with plenty of features that basic flashlights don’t have. Here, you get various lighting modes, and it's collapsible, doesn’t need battery switches, and has a magnetic base. That final perk is especially useful for grillers, who can attach it to their metal grill without worrying about knocking it over and no longer have to wear a cumbersome (and often goofy) headlamp.
With 350 lumens at its disposal, this light is perfect for task lighting and thrives in small spaces. It’s probably not for you if you need a specialized, tactical flashlight that can produce a beam that travels for hundreds of feet, but it is ideal for everyday use inside and outside the house.
In terms of price, this item is more affordable than most of the grilling lamps that you can attach to the hood. It’s also more affordable than most 350-lumen flashlights, making this Walmart find great for your wallet and convenience.

What Shoppers Are Saying
While it’s called a “grill light,” this item is useful in all kinds of situations. “You can use this light for multiple purposes,” one shopper said. “It can be used as a work light or reading light, and instead of using a regular flashlight, this item is better to use because it rotates and also has a red light.”
Another reviewer said the magnetic power of the base is really good. “This light is the best because of its lightweight construction and good magnet capability,” they praised. “It does not fall every time you accidentally bump it, and it's perfect for every use I have had.”
