Lighting, Light Fixtures, Ceiling and Exhaust Fans - Problem With Outside Fluorescent Floodlights

I have a problem with switching out my 2 socket corner floodlights. I tried to switch the 2 incandescent 150 watt bulbs for 2 fluorescent 26 watt bulbs. When I turned on the motion-sensing, daylight-sensing fixture neither bulb worked.

After much experimentation, including trying dimmable fluorescent bulbs, I finally got them to come on by using ONE 26 WATT FLUORESCENT and one of the old 150 WATT INCANDESCENT together. I think the 10 year old light fixture came from Sears and is called Intec-something??? Does anyone know how I can use 2 fluorescents instead of my 50-50 bulb mix? Will using the 50-50 mix cause any electrical problems. Would a 2-15 watt cfl bulbs work? I have tried various 23 watt and 26 watt bulbs together with no success.

I really do not want to trade out fixtures, but do they make a fixture that is motion-sensing, daylight-sensing and fluorescent friendly?:wall::confused:

I wonder if this might be my problem?

[Also, some photocell and timer controls don't use a relay or electrical contact to turn and off the power. Instead, they use a solid state electronic component - usually a triac - to control the power flow. Unfortunately, triacs don't allow 100% of the electricity to flow through when they are conducting, and this can interfere with the electronics in the compact fluorescent lamp base. If the compact fluorescent lamp works correctly in another socket that is controlled from a wall switch, this could be the problem.]

Sadly, it does not mention a solution.:eek::eek::eek:

Sometimes using one incandescent bulb helps. Best is to switch to the proper type of control. You will need one with a neutral specified for CFLs.
