Add to the limitations on CFLs that of yardlights,ie, those controlled by auto night control.

As a test I placed one in a neighbor's driveway lamp, and saved the receipts. Well after a few months it
was out. Tested it, yep, out. Call the fine print 1-800 number for a warranty claim. Claim service asked if
it was in a yard light right off and I said it wasn't an excluded use on the box. He said something and took
my address for a replacement. I "replaced" it with a small Hallogin type. That's been on over 6 months.
