How well do CFLs hold up in outside lights. I live in central Indiana
and while they probably should withstand the summer with little concern,
how about winter?


We've had them for years in semi enclosed fixtures (supposed to be a no no)
outdoors and they last just fine. They do take a while to light up when it's
minus 30 though.


*I* take awhile to light up when it is minus 30 (g). Thanks for the
reply.
