Default Dusk to dawn fluorescent lighting

Hello,

Are dusk to dawn fluorescent lights good?

I've attempted to use fluorescent lights in my front porch light that,
I think was originally meant for incandescent lights. When I used a
CFL type bulb in it the sensor didn't last. Had to replace it and go
back to using incandescent lighting.

This Hampton Bay advertises itself as a dusk to down outdoor
fluorescent -

I just got one of the low wattage units and keep it going 24/7.
