Anyone tried any low Temperature CFLs? I have two yard pole lights that I would like to try them in. If you have used them, how did they Work?

I have used standard CFL bulbs in my post lights. At -20=B0F they take a while to get bright but they work ok.

Plain ordinary CFL bulbs work fine outside for me, in weather down to around
0F. They light right away, though rather dimly, but in a few minutes ( 3-5) they are at full brightness. Some are outside 2 years now ( in enclosed fixtures, not in the rain) with no problems or failures yet.on 9/25/2007 6:46 AM Al Schmidt said the following:
They work fine outside all year. All my outside lights are CFLs, except for the motion detector flood lights.
