There are indeed certain types/brands of motion sensor lighting device that may not properly support CFLs, due to the fact that they run on Triacs.
1/2 of those Heath-Zenith ones are indeed on Triacs (esp. those fancy, 240 to 270 degree with bottom sensor ones) and the rest are on traditional relay type (don't recall the H-Z version that is in relay, but believe it to be the 180degree one, which I have 1 installed already).
The traditional relay type can and will support CFL floodlights.
Q.
