How well do CFLs hold up in outside lights. I live in central Indiana

I use the yellow CFL bug lights - figure they are made for outdoor
use. I use mine primarily for security and they usually burn 24/7.
Current one (GE) is guaranteed for 10,000 hours and is still burning
with 10,300 hours on it.

Dunno how long mine have been out there. I _think_ I replaced one of
the two once and I did replace the other a year or two ago. No
special bulb, just a multi pack of el cheapos I picked up at a
discount house. They also burn 24/7. They are there because I got
tired of repacing bulbs every few months. Now using them inside the
house. Other than a couple of small lamps in the bed room, the bath
is the only place I don't have CFLs or regular flourescent fixtures.
