Strange activity from a compact fluorescent bulb...

75.26.23.148

...can anyone explain why a compact fluorescent would flicker/flash intermittently, maybe once every 15 seconds, even when the light switch is turned OFF? This is a "high output" type that screws into a standard incandescent socket, and has four loops for high brightness.
