We had a bunch on our street that kept blowing out. Remove the top as though you were going to replace the bulb. Flip the top over and you will see the nut that holds the decorative top on the cover. caulk around this nut with silicone. They all leak. This will solve it. Also if you use an LED bulb, they emit light in a part of the visible spectrum that bugs can't see. You'll spend a lot less time cleaning the lamp post.
