Something that will withstand all 4 season changes. But not easily breakable. Single sandard bulb fixture. Attractive but not lavish.

Hi, Maybe use a Glass jar and make a hole in the lid?
Plexiglass or glass in frame. Cast aluminum will better withstand weather changes. Punched tin, if in a protected area, or cone shaped metal, etc. You need to know projection limitations, if any. Make a frame that provides easy access to changing lightbulb, but that also provides adequate space for light spread onto porch area.
There's different size/style mason jars that would make really cute and easy light covers! You could paint it and if you want a rustic look you could distress after painting
How about building a wood box frame with three sides that could be stained and fastened to the house.
since it is an outside light, it isn't just a bulb screwed into a socket is it? Isn't there some structure or frame of one around the bulb?
All great ideas. Just have to decide which one to go with. Olivia had some interesting ideas. Thank you all.
Hi Dbd. You could cut a galvanized bucket in half and secure to frame with small screws. I saw this done recently and thought what a cute idea.
