Default motion sensors can't be used with CFLs.??

I got a great deal on some really weak CFL indoor/outdoor floods
and installed 2 of them in a new outdoor security light. They work fine.

I repaired the old security light (bad photocell) and stuck it down
in the basement shop area, using two new CFLs and they work fine..

I think maybe those series X-10 wall switches need a bit current flow..
