[RFI] re CFL bulbs in cold weather

[Gary "Joe" Mayfield]

What brand or other special thing are you doing???  Are they vertical or
horizontal?  Some of my outdoor bulbs are pain to change.  I would love a
long lasting energy efficient bulb!

Have you ever done a side by side comparison for life span?  I have a room
with identical ceiling mounted fixtures on one switch.  I put CFLs in one
fixture and incandescents in the other.  The incandescents have lived longer
both times I have tried it.

Thanks and 73,
Joe kk0sd

P.S. I have not had noise issues.

Here in Saskatchewan I have been running several CFL bulbs outside and  
they hit full illumination and last a long time. Temps are often -20  
to -40 F. CFL bulbs are also used in all fixtures in our home. No  
weird burn-outs and no RFI.
