Depends on the time of year...I've got 4 1-lamp 4-foot fluorescents - all with electronic ballasts (for energy saving and reliable starting in freezing cold), most of the year I only run 2 of them (from midnight til morning), but for late November til Mid January I use all 4 fixtures

Here the electricity is pretty expensive, so people use either no lights or (more recently) controlled by motion detectors, in most cases incandescents.

My hostel illuminates outside by four globes with CFLs and incandescents (Only two working, and the two working have Eurolux CFLs). The back of my hostel illuminated by 2x36W T8 preheat/switchstart fixture, which usually isn't in use. My father home enterance uses fixture that have an energy saving CFL. My mother home enterance uses street number and name backlit sign that uses 2-pin PL-S 11W with preheat/switchstart magnetic ballast. It had a photocell in the past, but it was distroyed, because of the switch, and currently it is only manual switched, and usually no in use.

I run a Nordex Astra 1 with photocell on a 15ft pole in the back yard, using an Eye 80W clear mercury vapour lamp. It's the only clear MV lamp I know of in use for outdoor lighting here, I've never seen another clear MV lamp running in the UK! There must be others surely! The original coated bulb was causing the nearby tree to extend its branches towards the light and also encouraging the weeds ...  BG

Why HID lamps are so popular in household use in North America, compared to the rest of the world!?!? Almost all of the american LG members, almost always uses HID lanterns for security lighting at their homes (Without the relationship to them being lighting collectors), what isn't exists in the rest of the world. In Israel, security lighting, is done either by incandescent, SBMV and now CFLs globe lanterns, fluorescent battens or halogen floodlights with motion detectors, which gradually being replaced by CFL floodlights, because all double ended halogen lamps were banned in Israel. MH floodlights as a security lighting at the enterance of residential buildings, appeared only recently, after the ban of the incandescent and halogen lamps over 60W.
