Have you fitted snubbers to the CFLs to protect the contacts on your
Idratek relays?

I've fitted these http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?
cId=A354527&ts=95176&id=57738 -rather industrial kitchen lights
controlled on a QRI relay, but no snubbers - yet
The lights are a bit slow to start but give a vry good light with 3500k
bulbs.  I'd choose the 2x18W versions next time as if anything they are
too bright!
I've also got 8 halogen downlights too.
