Frank, was there a once-in-a-lifetime deal on incandescents?
Redpoint, can you put the CFL on a sensor? Our landlord periodically needs to try to fix our outdoor lights and he has tried different sensors and timers. He put our porch light on a sensor and I removed it because it was flickering and hissing. We figured that it was designed for incandescents.
I had a roommate that got angry when the porch light was turned off. He hated trying to find his keys in the dark.
I think that Costco sells a four-pack of CFLs for two dollars.
