Default CFL in Garage Door Opener

It is about 60F in the garage. The CFL bulbs in the outdoor fixtures
work fine. They are a little slow to fully light, but the garage door
opener doesn't light at all.
Hi,
My guess is the light socket in the opener is contolled by a solid state
relay rather than electro mechanical relay. Then it won't light for
sure. For one thing SS relay needs certain amount(Watts) of minimum load
to activate.
