Energy Efficient Outdoor Lights

Outdoor lights connected to motion sensors are popular (and smart) additions to a home security plan. I must admit it never occurred to me to look for security lights with better energy efficiency (despite having replaced most of my indoor lamps, or at least the bulbs).
