My friend emailed me back. He tried a relay but that still didn't work. He then went and bought a $9.00 motion light and put in his closet, and he said it's working fine now. He wanted the CFL because it gave out "daylight" light that would give him the true color of his clothes. I gave him other options, but he was determined not to pay over $50.00 for a switch that was rated for CFL's and he definetly didn't want a regular incandescent bulb. He said he still paid less for the relay and the motion light, than for the right motion switch. I guess he's not counting drive time etc.... Pretty determined I'd say....
