Hello,
Are dusk to dawn fluorescent lights good?
I've attempted to use fluorescent lights in my front porch light that,

CFL type bulb in it the sensor didn't last. *Had to replace it and go
back to using incandescent lighting.
This Hampton Bay advertises itself as a dusk to down outdoor
fluorescent -

You'er not really saving much energy that way. THey use about a 1/3rd
of the electricity. In most regions it's dark about a 1/3rd of the
day.
