Default CFL's with a generator

I replaced all my incandescents with CFLs. With the recent power
outages here (Ohio) I bought a generator and was wondering if the
CFLs can handle the fluctuation of the generator.What I mean by the
fluctuation is choke not being set right so you hear the motor speed
up and slow down evey half a second


I don't think momentary fluctuations will bother a CFL.

If you're worried, either repair the generator, put the lights on a UPS, or
keep a few incandescent bulbs in the pantry.
