We had some lights mounted to the brick on our fireplace. My wife
says they have gone out of style and she bought some new ones to

new lights are not in the same location as the old lights -- not
even close.

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?


Mounting hole don't necessarily show. Get a clue, dummy.


Hey dummy, Why is the OP needing to fill holes for /after a new light?
Any chance the new light fixture can't cover the former hole
positions? Holes need filling outside the mount.

Tell us more, bright guy.


After you show me the light, since you have sure knowledge of its
characteristics, dummy
