Choosing a CFL (or LED?) bulb for outdoor light
I just installed a patio light that is rated for max 100W bulb. Do I understand it right that if I put a more powerful incandescent bulb (say 150W) the insides of the lamp may overheat? The 100W is not giving me a bright enough light so I want to have something brighter. So CFL (or maybe LED?) is the way to go, right? With something like 150-200W equivalent lumens. Now, I also would like a CFL light that warms up fast. Can you recommend a specific brand/model of CFL bulbs with a fast warm up? Or is LED better? I don't mind paying more for a bulb as long as it warms up fast and is bright enough. Thanks!
