Any flood light that is incandescent can be used outside as long as it doesn’t get direct contact with rain or other elements. PAR incandescent light bulbs and PAR halogen light buls are made with heavy duty glass lense that can take the elements and are perfect for uplights and spot lights out in your yard. When you are looking at compact fluorescent light bulbs, you’ll need to choose one that was manufacturered for being outside. Other CFL light bulbs will not hold up in lower temperatures.
