        My outdoor lamps mounted to thebrick face have come unsealed. What do I use to resell them and how do I prevent them from sagging in the process. Lamps where installed by the builder 7 years ago.

        Thanks

        The light/lamp mountings frame should be screwed to a connection/junction box. If this would somehow not be possible?, then anchor mounting frame with tapcon screws into the mortar (pre drill holes). Use clear silicone caulk to seal around the mount edge after it is hanging. (painter's tape will help you keep a clean line of caulk, if you don't have a steady hand. Just smooth and then remove the tape from both edges after application.

        Thanks Conrad. I wish I have read that before dealing with my problem. I did not use tape but it does not look too bad
