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 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

I'm looking for outdoor wall mount sconce style lights for an outside bar. All the cool ones are either indoor only or outdoor and $300 each. Is it possible to fix up the wiring/bulb receptacle so I can use an indoor light outdoors? How?

Check these out. There are a few cool ones for only $75...although the "Atlantis" collection is nice too. but more $.

I don't want to damage or possibly drill into the brick of my house for a string of party lights. Does anyone know of a hook I can hang or even stakes I can use in the ground to hang these?

If you want to go with the stake method, what about using the 3 to 4 foot high metal stakes with a curved hook on the top designed for hanging flower baskets?

You can get these at Wal-Mart or other discount stores for under two dollars each. As an added bonus, you could possibly hang plants or perhaps lantern style lights on these as well as the string lights.

Another alternative is to glue hooks directly to the wall with a strong construction adhesive such as Liquid Nails that is designed to stick to masonry surfaces.

Good call on not drilling into the brick. In the long run, that would lead to water penetration and possibly cause severe damage.

Hope that helps!

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.
