Outdoor Floodlighting -- What's the State of the Art?

We're finalizing spec for perimeter downlighting. CFLs no good because cold climate here and long warm up time.

Seems HID and induction have been eclipsed by LED, whose price-performance have improved?

Appreciate feedback on using LED PAR 38s in typical bullet-style fixtures for wall mount downlighting. Are these lamps the right way to go? And if so, what's been your experience with color temp ---3000, 3500, 4000 degrees? And what mfr is making the best LED PAR right now? Any issues with retrofitting bullet fixtures with LED PARs?

Or still best to stick with halogen PARs?

Thanks very much for feedback. --Mark
