That is because when you first turn an energy saving lightbulb on, it generates a lot of light near and/or in the Infra-Red frequency until it warms up (this is why these bulbs appear dull when you first turn them on) when it gets into the visible light ranges which is why after a few minutes of being on, it shouldn't (but still could - maybe not as much) confuse the IR sensor on the STB.
