I had an outdoor light, the typical lantern type on my front porch that had an outlet on the side of the backplate and it was used to plug in our decorations. My husband broke it, and now we cannot plug our holiday decorations in anywhere unless we spend major money cutting a hole in our brick and ruining our front room wall. Do they still make these sort of fixtures? Or does anyone have one they'd like to sell or dispose of? We'd hate to be that house with an extension cord coming out of our window! PLEASE!!!

I have never ever seen an outdoor wall light fixture with an outlet. I "convert" my wall lights for Christmas lighting by removing the bulb and screwing in an outlet receptacle into it's place. But if some company were to bring that design back...geez, that's a great design!

I want to replace my outdoor wall-mounted light by my front door. The one I have now also has an outlet on it. I find this very handy to plug in my weed whacker, etc. I can't seem to find an outdoor light that comes with the outlet. Have they been discontinued?
Thanks HVAC, I did check in those stores. I guess they don't make them anymore.

I have not seen one in a long time. Check at Lowes? home depot? Another thing you could do is when the light is replaced have an outlet wired into the light circuit in the wall, it should not be very difficult for an electrician

Well there should be a small screw somewhere holding the glass on, or maybe the cover itself is threaded and unscrews....no idea, there are several makes with several different solutions.

I received two answers - but if anyone can help me locate a fixture I'd appreciate it. Believe me, I tried EVERY home improvement store in Chicago. They all say they "don't make 'em any more!" Someone must, to accomodate all the older houses!

So with this light would you have an extension cord hanging from it? Is that any better then one coming out your window?

Why not get creative and add an outlet to a light that you like? It would really be simple to do. There should be NO NEED to ruin the wall in your front room to add an outside outlet. Whoever told you that would be necessary is a hack. You should be able to cut a hole in the brick above or below the existing fixture and fish a line to it from the existing fixture as long as you keep it in the same bay. Even if you didn't keep it in the same bay all wiring could be done from under the house if you have a basement or crawl space or in the attic. Absolutely no need to touch the inside wall, I do this type of thing all the time.

I want to put the exterior lights of my home (i.e. porch lights) on a timer. They are powered by wall switches inside my home. Ideally, I would like for the lights to come on at dusk and turn off at dawn. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this?

a photo cell will only turn the lights on when it gets dark and turn them on when it gets light.
if that is what you want it would be more ideal than a timer, you'll need to install an outdoor type box and they sell a photo eye that is on a box cover as well. (and you need to puit the eye in a place that won't be affected by any light (street light or exterior lights around the house)
run a set of wires (2 for hot (black or red), 1 for ground (green), and 1 for a grounded conductor{white wire}) either to the box with the switch or to the breaker panel, whichever is easier
you need to break the line and wire them to each of the photo eye hot leads
wire in your white wire to the other white wire and the green wire to the other green wire
