[GBlist] Recommend CFLs for outdoors in cold climate?

[Joe Nolan <jnolan@ecovillage.ithaca.ny.us>]

We're thinking of using 7W compact fluorescents in some required path 
lights here in Ithaca (in sky-friendly full-cutoff fixtures), but I've 
heard some negative buzz about performance of CFLs in the cold. Seems hard 
to beat them for energy efficiency in the lower range of illumination we're 
going for. Any recommendations of specific makes/models that have worked 
well in the 0-32F range? (Or bad experiences?) Compactness is also a plus, 
since it allows a greater choice of fixtures satisfying the no-glare 
requirement.

thanks,
joe
