Default Disconnecting CFL bulb from powered circuit can cause damage?

How complex would you like this?

I'd separate things and run the fan from it's own power supply that also
supports a circuit that

1) switches the fan off after the lamp has cooled,
2) doesn't allow the inverter to turn on if the fan is not running

A bit of simple logic, or a micro....

The fan is not for cooling. It is a mosquito trap and the fan sucks mosquitoes attracted by a chemical compound, heat and UV light. The fan must not stop or the mosquitoes will escape.

I forgot to mention it is a Jata MT8.
