Cause I don't turn the switch off and on. I just leave it. I do have parts to update my front lawn post including some spots to illuminate some trees, and they will have a photo switch. I hope the switch works on CFL's. I was going to check if this switch used a relay.

I don't need to illuminate my front lawn, there's a bloody streetlamp there!
When I eventually get round to building the pond and lighting it, I may have to black out that side of the streetlamp (it's the old hemispherical dome variety).
Most all security fixtures use a relay due to their high wattage capabilities.
The trouble with street lights, only 10% of the light hits the street. The rest just blinds you.

You still don't get it, do you?

Funny, I've never been blinded by a street light. BMW headlights on the other hand....

CFL lamps.
I don't get how you manage to overheat something with a quarter of the heat input, no.

You really are dense, aren't you? The CFL isn't rated to operate anywhere near the temperature an incandescent lamp produces. It isn't glass metal & high temperature cement. Some parts aren't even rated to stand boiling water. Some fixtures hold in more heat than others. They are designed to handle the extra heat. Put a wimpy CFL inside that fixture and it will die a quick death. Sometimes with a free lightshow & fireworks.
Is it too late to get a refund?

Make up your mind. That is, if there is enough of it left.

Really? Have you met most pet owners? Or are you just lying, as usual?

lighting is from the light source itself, not the wires supplying it. I've never felt any LEDs getting warmer than body temperature.
Truly amazing! Your ignorance is something to behold.

I've got a CFL (100watt equivalent) in a completely enclosed glass fitting in the bathroom. It has lasted just fine.
I don't think I'd want a fitting that could hold the heat enough to make a CFL get to 100C. That would mean an incandescent would get a lot hotter than that! What of the surrounding stuff, like the ceiling?
I have never said you weren't childish.
I've met loads, ones I've sold parrots to or bought parrots from.
I don't keep them in cages. 99% of people do. And yes there is a lot of claning up to do.

Are my LEDs magical then? Because they certainly are not warmer than I am.

You really are dense, aren't you? The fixtures ARE DESIGNED FOR THE HIGHER OPERATING TEMPERATURE.
