    Do they make these fixtures for outdoor lighting? The garage lights don't bother me, because I go out and fire up the furnace, turn on the lights, and go back inside for 20 to 30 minutes to let the garage warm up a little.

    I was thinking that these new bulbs would save me the most on outdoor lighting. I currently have 6 100 watt floods. So I would be most interested in the flood light replacements.

    Stick with the incandescents for floods. You could look for some HID (high intesity dischage) fixtures. But they still require a ballast to fire up. Think stadium lights, but on a smaller scale and more efficient watt consumption.
    Do you want more lumens per sq.ft or save a few $'s on the electric bill for something that is used occasionally?
