Do your lamp connections have an earth in the fitting? Is the switch in
the live or the neutral line?
I'm wondering if these low energy bulbs have a small leakage path to
earth - if your light switches are on the neutral side it's possible the
lamps are still "live" even when turned off.
I can't think of another reason why they would flash when switched off
with a normal switch (lack of imagination a possible factor here...).
