A light fixture cover system and method is disclosed in which the selectively detachable cover is also a unitary structure including a body having a peripheral sealing lip that fits over any corresponding industry standard outside light fixture. From the outset, it should be noted that while the cover is illustrated generally as being of a round configuration, the cover may be of various other configurations such as rectangular, oval or square by way of non-limiting examples to fit all shapes of exterior light fixtures. The sealing lip of the cover has at least one laterally extending tab member to assist in removing the cover from the fixture. The cover portion is preferably made from a resilient polymeric material suitable for both winter and summer weather conditions in addition to being impervious to the heat generated by the electrical bulb or bulbs contained it the light fixture. Preferred embodiments of the present cover provide a tight fit between the cover and fixture base, thus precluding entry of insects or water into the interior of the assembly. The cover is devoid of screws, clips, or any other components, and requires no tools or other equipment to install and remove the light cover to and from its corresponding light fixture base.
