I see quite a few incandescents up here in
northern MN still; it's
rumored that the harsh winters cause problems with the LED ones - they
just don't output enough heat, so snow and ice can build up and
obscure them.
... So put heaters in them to keep the lenses warm in winter! :)
(it only has to go a few degrees above zero... shouldn't take that much
power if it's on a time-limited thermostat)
