I just installed a motion detection switch in one room which is lighted by 4 CFL's in a fan. The CFL,s come on fine but when the motion switch shuts them off they just flicker. Of course if I put 4 incandescent bulbs in the unit all is fine. For the heck of it I put in 3 CFL's and 1 incandescent bulb and to my surprise they ALL work!
Is there any reason that I can't leave it as above (3 CFL's & 1 incandescent)? In this manner I can save some electricity and still have my motion switch work.
If necessary can I purchase CFL's that will work with my motion switch or can I purchase a different motion switch that will work with my current CFL's?
Comments would be appreciated.
