I am just starting to convert my bulbs to CFL's as they burn out but I am having issues with my external fixtures.
Right now where I am in Canada its -30 and I find that the one CFL I am trying outside does not put out as much light in this weather compared to a regular incandescent bulb.
I came home from work at 5 am this morning and a birthday candle would put out more light than the CFL bulb over my door. When I installed the bulb in the fall the brightness was good at that time of day.
I don't know if its just the brand (Globe) that is doing this or just the nature of the product. I have not seen any CFL bulbs marked for cold weather use in any of the retailers.
Also for the ones in the house it took a little getting use to the short lag between turning the switch on and the bulb coming on.
