I have seen a product that fits over bevel siding so that a light mounted to the siding will have a base flush w/ the bevel. I cannot find the product lit. at this time. Also, is there a way to make these light base mounts that is fairly quick? I have even thought of cutting out the siding where the mount goes and putting a flat piece of redwood against the exterior rigid insulation and attaching through it to a nailing/screwing backer. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
