This.I thought it was left in, but that a restriction was placed that the govt couldn't spend any money to implement it, so it kinda didn't matter...
Mine start slow starting at 50 degrees. This morning was 28 degrees and I'd say it came on at 10% and was up to maybe 75% when I left 45 minutes later.I know I live in a warmer climate then you mudpuppy, but I have CFL's in my outdoor lights and they work fine even when the temps dip below freezing. At what temperature do they start having problems?
The CFL's I have outdoors are on timers, so I never really notice how long they take to turn on. It makes sense for me to have CFL's in these lights since they are on a lot (every day) and are generally on for hours at a time (4-5 hours a day). I've been pretty happy with their performance. For my outdoor lights which are on regular switches or motion sensors I have a combination of incandescent and halogen. The halogen's are great for light, but man do they put off some heat and go through electricity.Mine start slow starting at 50 degrees.

I bought 48 incandescents a few months ago. Hope they'll last me a good long while.
When the one on the front porch burns out, it'll be replaced by an incandescent.The CFL's I have outdoors are on timers, so I never really notice how long they take to turn on.
