I wrote to Intermatic about this, and they said any mechanical (pins type) timer would be fine for CFLs. The digital ones where you set the times on an LCD type screen, will not work because of the circuitry.

No digital timer. a mechanical timer will be fine, so long as you don't exceed the (usually 1800 watts) limit. So if you have the kind of timer with the pins you push in and out, you'll be fine.
