I haven't figured out why motion sensors can't be used with CFLs. I can certainly understand photoeyes (they tend to flicker between "off" and "on"). At any rate, this light covers the entire yard, and for the motion sensor to pick up our coming up the steps, it first will pick up the live oak tree and pretty much stay on all the time.

I have an unused motion sensor flood that I'm thinking about moving to the front of the house where it will only pick up the driveway. It might have the nice side effect of chasing away anybody who wants to liberate the computer speakers and inverter that have become my new car stereo. I assume I can use a dimmable CFL with these?
