A 7 watt CFL bulb last for years and gives the light of a 40 watt and a 13 watt CFL gives the light of a 60 watt.
All the sensors in the post lights plays nice with the CFL's today and the cost of running these are penny's a month.
(FYI CFL's don't play Nice with Electronic dimmers inside the home even if there rated for Dimmers.)
I have had one for over three years in my post light and its still running.
They make CFL's Fine white closest to sunlight fast starting so you don't have a yellow dim light.
If you don't like those then get a LED bulb which is even cheaper to Run and the bulbs have come way down in price.
good luck!
