The more important point is that outdoor fixtures are exactly the place

efficiency will be significant.

My Feit Electric outdoor CFLs did fine this winter in -10F weather.

I find it inconvenient that i have to wait for 5 minutes
to get some light, when I go outside(-10 celcius).
And even then I dont think that it came full on after that time.
So I replaced it with a TL armament, at least that turns on
after one or two seconds.
And no, I dont want to leave them on all the time, thats pure waste.
