Default Photo-cells and CFLs

wrote:
I have an outdoor floodlight fixture with a photo-cell to turn it on
at dusk and off at dawn. I can buy a screw-in photo-cell that works
with CFLs for only $8. If I cover the regular eye so it thinks it's
always dark and therefore will always be on, will the CFL work? It
would be cheaper than buying a new fixture.

Hmm,
Funny, why would you need another photo cell if there is one in the
fixture unless it is bad.
