Eric, I doubt that fluorescents are recommended for outdoor use in cold climates. I have them in my garage and in freezing weather they take a long time to warm up and give full light. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Vogel" <ecvogel@xxxxxxxxx>

This is for outside lamp post. We have a 40watt one over the stove and it is dimmer. I think there is a 60watt one in there. And still dimmer. I compared werethe luminas at Costco and they were still too weak compared to your normal bulb. Thank you, Eric Vogel ~Windows Live!

The spiral wound florescent types, approximately the same diameter as a regular incandescent bulb, were everywhere here a month or two ago. I bought some @4 for 99 cents, some were two for 99 cents, all depending on where you bought them. The 100 watt replacement bulbs consume 23 watts, and produce more illumination than a 100 watt incandescent. Look in your Dollar Store or 99 Cents Only store, and even my supermarket had some, so look around. The wineries in Napa Valley are spending thousands of dollars converting everything possible to florescent lighting. The 100 watt equivalent uses 23 watts for a 77% savings. The wineries are shooting for a 60% savings across the board and when you consider they spend thousands for power every year a 60% savings is a substantial chunk of change. If grandma only installs one bulb in her reading lamp she may not even notice a difference in her power bill. Get a dozen bulbs and change any that you can. I'm even trying to find one to use in the hood over the kitchen range. YMMV ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - On Wed, 28 Feb 2007 15:37:49 -0500, "Eric C.
