Tony,

For what it’s worth, I live in upstate NY and use three CFL’s in outdoor fixtures that are on every night. I picked these because they specify they are indoor/outdoor. They are dimmer when it’s maybe below +5 degrees F, but even at -20 they’re effective at providing at least some light to the areas desired. They are the EcoSmart brand from Home Depot and are 40 watts equivalent. (No, nowhere as bright as the 400W ones you replaced.) No comment, however, on the hideous light quality compared to incandescents.  ;-) 

RFI? The package specifies it may cause interference between 450 KHz and 30 MHz, but my antenna is maybe 75 feet from the nearest one. I’ve noticed no RFI.
