It is not any special light bulb. There should be numbers and letters on the bulb to confirm this. I wouldn't use a compact fluorscent unless you are in a pretty moderate climate. Bulbs rated for rough service, as in trouble lights or traffic signals last longer if the door is used a lot

You are probably right unless it is some sort of florescent bulb. Some of them are special in order that they can strike in sub-zero temperatures. The lamp bulb does not do the sensing. - Original Message - From: Brice Mijares To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday,

This won't go over well with the wife, but you are right. The fixture itself is what makes it different. There are seals to keep the water out of the outlet. You can run any bulb that fits the threads in the outlet. This is within reason. Don't plug in a 500 watt halogen bulb, or

No problems with sub degree coldness here, I live in Central California. Hardly ever falls below 32 and the front porch is covered. Now, I have to figure out how to change the light bulb. It is shaped like an octagon with vertical strips of glass about inch and a half wide and about 6 inches

The only consideration you should concern yourself with is that you not install a light bulb with so high a wattage that the fixture overheats. The fixture should have a wattage statement such as, Do Not Exceed xxx Watts. Holland's Person, Bill E-Mail: billgal...@centurytel.net - The early

: Re: [BlindHandyMan] porch light Hi, Sometimes the lamp unit has a photocell, which switches on/off at dawn/dusk. However some bulbs also have this unit at the bottom of the bulb. You will know if the bulb has it built in, as the bulb is bulkier than normal. If replacing the bulb
