Timers and CFLs.

How are you people using timers with you CFLs?

What do I need to look for when buying CFLs in regards to using them on a basic timer plug?

Thanks.

I just get the ones that look like a power strip. Four or so timed receptacles and the same in the timer. I run everything off it with no problems (14-16 23w, inline fan, oscillating fan, etc)

I have a timer with 1 outlet on the bottom, you can buy them with more. Then I plug an extension into that with 3 more outlets on it, and I have the other outlet on the wall giving me 4 outlets total, and another couple more if needed with another extension cord. My lights are on the cord plugged into the timer, and the fan goes directly into the wall.

I was under the impression that cheaper CFLs didn't allow a timer to keep time. Does it work because there is an extension in between them?

No it will work regardless..
Anything you plug into the timer and set it to turn off at a certain time, it will.

Thanks to both of you.
