"Is there a "green" light bulb for use in an outdoor, motion-sensor light?"

I have switched all of my indoor light bulbs from the incandescent type to the compact fluorescent type. The bulbs I have been using indoors state that they are not to be used with dimmers or photocells. So today I bought a Sylvania bulb, which was labeled as an Indoor/Outdoor light bulb. (Sylvania Soft White 100 watt replacement bulb, using 30 watts. 1 CFL bulb, model BOMBILLA.) There was nothing on the carton about not using with dimmers or photocells. It was only after I opened the clamshell packaging, and unfolded the the insert, that there was the same warning I had seen on the other bulbs. Being stubborn, and needing a light bulb, I put it in my outdoor fixture. Well, instead of lasting "5 years", it lasted about an hour. Needless to say, I am taking it back to Lowe's, but am I looking for a type of bulb that doesn't exist? I had been using the "long-lasting" incandescent bulbs for this fixture. (I also plan to send an email to Sylvania as well.)

Thanks! Katherine
