No, they're not. You might be getting along, but ... see below.

But you're using CFL compatible (flourescent) X-10 components. If not,
you'll see early burnouts of either the CFL and/or the X-10 device.
Questions like this deserve full answers IMO. X-10 makes that information
very clear if you read their instructions on the various products or their
wiki.
