[quote Racer X]Mavic, they aren't really outside rated (as in cold) unless they say so on the package, or possibly screened onto the base as well.
Also, most CF bulbs aren't for closed enclosure use unless they say so.
I see. I only went by what was written and didn't know there was more to it that isn't on the package. None of the lights I've had problems with going out are in a closed fixture.
The ones I have also say they are cool and safe to use in fixtures.
