CFL In Garage Door Opener
I tried to replace the two 60W incandescent bulbs with two 13W CFL bulbs in the garage door opener. They didn't light. Anyone know why? The CFL bulbs work in other fixtures. I guess the most energy efficient solution would be to manually open the garage door.
Answer:
I have the same set up 2 13 watt in place of the pair of 60W. What you have to do is get a flat head screw driver and pry the contact at the base of the socket up enough to get contact to the bulb. To test turn on the light for the unit and then insert the bulbs.The cfl bulb doen't go in quite as far as an incandescent because of the larger portion at the base. First unplug the unit though, just to be safe. This works great for the opener because I have NEVER had to replace the bulbs for burn out because there is no filament to vibrate and break!
