EcoRenovator - View Single Post - CFL and LED light bulbs and Garage Door opener Range

I just put an LED bulb in my garage opener a while back. It's GREAT!

I had a CFL in there for a while for energy savings (light stays on while I'm working in my garage) but it warmed up so slow (especially in Wisconsin winters) that it was nearly useless for having any light to briefly open the door and go in and out of the garage.

So, I replaced it with an LED. Great light, bright, and instant on. As was already mentioned in this thread, fantastic vibration resistance compared to incandescent.

No problems at all with the garage door remote either.
