Can compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) be used with movement sensors, sunset switches, and timers?
Currently, some compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) will not work in all existing lighting systems including, movement sensors and other switches. It is recommended that you refer to product packaging at the time of purchase, or alternatively contact the manufacturer for product specific information. Mains voltage halogen bulbs provide a more efficient alternative to traditional incandescent bulbs in situations where compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are not the preferred option. However, more CFL products suitable for use in these technologies will continue to become available as the phase-out progresses.
