Default Energy Saving Light Bulbs ?

For some years now, we have had a standard lamp and a small table lamp in
the lounge both with low wattage energy saving light bulbs in, plugged into
a time switch then plugged into the wall socket.

Just been looking through a catalogue and it says I quote; "Not suitable for
use with dimmers, time switches and photo cells"

Anyone like to tell me why.

I was thinking of taking the bulb out of the outside light which is also run
off a timeswitch and replacing it with a LE ESLB.
