I'd like to source some energy efficient exterior pot lights. Has anyone come across such a beast? There must be some out there, but I haven't found them.

Thanks.

You probably won't find energy efficient potlights but there should be no shortage of energy efficient light bulbs suitable for your normal potlight fixtures.

mjpliv... agreed. In fact, I've replaced a few interior ones in my house. But, what I'm looking for now is to install potlights in the soffits and the only ones I seem to be able to replace with energy efficient bulbs are the traditional 'screw-in' type light bulbs. Unfortunately, the pot-lights I've seen for soffit installation are the halogen ones which have a smaller housing (necessary for this application) and special connectors. I hope I explained myself...if so, any other suggestions?
