ahhh..not to sound insulting but according to Murphys law
whatever you put up there will eventually get broken
again...even caged, light filaments can take only so much
g-force rom the BB vibration..
How about 2 floods, 1 on ether side of the BB hoop and cover
the existing light with a plate and matching paint/stucco/whatever?
Otherwise I might try one of the submersible type
swimming pool lights with enclosure..they always seem very
beefy to me--and add a motion sensor circut which s avaiable
as a separate item...
Also can you put a light on a pole away from things and avoid
the BB altogether...
Sorry if I am being obvious..
