We have an outside light - an oblong plastic thingy - in a rather

I thought of putting a couple of drain holes in the bottom, but that
seems too bodgy even for me.

I'd go with the holes (I have done this myself, in the past). An
interesting philosophical question, when does a sound, pragmatic DIY fix

A repair that is effective, reliable, safe, works ok & looks ok is good. Anything that fails those is a bodge.
