The light bulb on our front porch went out. Question; being that it has some kind of censor that turns the light on once it gets dark and turns off in the morning when it gets light, is it a special light bulb? My wife thinks so, but I don't think so. I think it'll takes any light bulb

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

: 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
