Most today's CFL are junk and fire hazards

I don't use CFL's unless they are made in the USA not China. That's why i don't like CFL's that much!

Thats weird. Sylvania is always a good brand in my parts. Their cfls usually have a programmed start ballast. Maybe you just got a bad one.

The future of street lighting is Induction, not nasty HPS lights or cr@ppy LED lights!
Preheat CFL's should make a comeback!

Better convert the fixture to two 11W PL-S - you get longer bulb life, redundancy, better quality bulbs available and (including the high magnetic ballast losses) the same electricity consumption and more light then these spiral scrap...
