In combination, a masonry structure, comprising an exterior surface, an interior surface opposite said exterior surface, and an aperture formed within said exterior surface;

• and a lighting fixture, comprising a support member having a first end, a second end opposite said first end, an internal cavity between said first and second ends, and at least one cam lock tab, said support member being sized and shaped for insertion within said aperture of said masonry structure such that said first end of said support member is proximate to said exterior surface of said masonry structure;
• an electrical socket removably received within said cavity of said support member;
• a sealed modular light assembly, including a self-contained light source and a cam lock, said modular light assembly being removably mounted to and substantially covering said first end of said support member, said cam lock and said at least one cam lock tab of said support member being sized and shaped such that said cam lock and said at least one cam lock tab are releasably engageable with one another by turning said modular light assembly relative to said support member;
• first connecting means on said modular light assembly;
• and second connecting means on said socket, said first and second connecting means being releasably engageable with each other so as to mechanically and electrically connect said modular light assembly to said socket such that said socket is removable from said cavity of said support member in response to the removal of said modular light assembly from said first end of said support member, whereby, after removing said modular light assembly from said first end of said support member, said modular light assembly can be mechanically and electrically disconnected from said socket externally of said masonry structure for the purposes of repair or replacement.

A method for installing and replacing a lighting fixture, which is mounted in an aperture of a masonry structure, comprising the steps of:

• inserting a support member having at least one cam lock tab into said aperture of said masonry structure such that one end of said support member is proximate to an exterior surface of said masonry structure;
• mechanically and electrically connecting a socket to a sealed modular light assembly having a self-contained light source and a cam lock, said connecting step being carried out externally of said masonry structure;
• mounting said modular light assembly to said one end of said support member by turning said modular light assembly relative to said support member such that said cam lock of said modular light assembly and said at least one cam lock tab of said support member releasably engage each other, said socket is positioned within said aperture of said masonry structure;
• removing said modular light assembly from said one end of said support member by turning said modular light assembly relative to said support member such that said modular light assembly and said socket are positioned externally of said masonry structure;
• mechanically and electrically disconnecting said modular light assembly from said socket;
• and
• mechanically and electrically connecting another modular light assembly to said socket.
