I need to fill in a couple holes, about 1/2" in diameter in some brick
and also a couple in some black mortar. I hadn't considered using
mortar, maybe I should, but if I don't what would be the next best
product to use?

Thanks.

Drill new holes in the new light, or in a mounting plate you make for it.


Keep up dummy.

Sounds like former holes are a visual defect for the new light.

Who drills new holes in a light fixture?
