Ok, maybe a little odd question but you guys all seem very helpful so I will give it a shot.
I am lookingto replace my exterior lighting on my house....3 units that attach to the house and are under the eaves of the house.....and a pole light. We just got a new roof and soffit/facia and they need replaced.
I was leaning towards the new "energy saver" flourescent units....but it seems like their is a $35-$50 PER LIGHT difference between the fixture that accepts the two-pin twist type flourescent bulbs versus the standard screw in incandecent bulbs.
Could I just use the standard type fixture but use the screw-in type flourecent bulbs?
Is there a downside?
I cant understand why the price hike? And that doesnt even include the flourescent lamps! LOL
Any ideas?
