Will this work with dimmable LED lamps.?

I called Leviton on this question. According to Leviton, this switch is not able to fully turn off LED bulbs due to the very low current required to still produce light with LED bulbs. They said this socket would cause flickering instead of turning off.

It will work with an LED. However, the dimmable feature works so well with high-wattage incandescent lamps, for example on a low setting it uses nominal energy, but on high it provides sufficient light for fine print reading, it provides good value vs and LED lamp. Incandescent lamps are being expired, due to governmental regulations, but until then, or the price comes down, I would stikc with the old incandescent. We use an old three way lamp which never worked well in any 3 way socket, which works exceptionally well in this dimmable one.

I don't know? I haven't had to buy any of the LED's yet, so I can't even test it for you.Only have LED's in our night lights.

The stem wasn't long enough to use in my fixture and couldn't extend it, so I sent it back without trying it.

not sure, but I would think so, as long as the base of the bulb fits, it should, but I have never tried it!!!

Not sure, either. The potential problem: the bulb uses such a low current that the dimmer does not "sense" enough current use to maintain accurate control, causing the lamp to flicker.

yes.....as long as it is a regular on/off switch. Dimmer switches are tricky. They must be approved to use with a specific type of LED approved by the LED's manufacturer

Yes, assuming you use lamps which are dimmable. some LED's and CFL's are not dimmable. Check the package.

Unfortunately dimming flourescents is much harder than LEDs. This will not work with a flourescent lamp.

Only use CFL (curly Q bulbs) that are designated as "dimmable". LED and standard incandescent bulbs should work fine.

This is a 12 volt. Switch, if your item is 12 VDC & drAws less than 2amps it should work. If your lite is more than the 2amps get a dimmer from electric outlet store. Van

Yes this dimmer switch will work well. Pay strict attention to how you remove and be sure you replace the same direction you took it out.

Yes. I believe I left a negative review of this dimmer. I later learned that it wasn't the dimmer. It was these off-brand dimmable LED lamps. I've since replaced the lamps with a working LED dimmable and they work great. Be careful of what dimmable lamps you purchase. Some won't dim with this Lutron dimmer. Me? I used lamps to replace the R-20 lamps in a ceiling fan/light assembly. I do not recall the brand but can look back at my order history if anyone inquires

Yes it should, as long as the bulb is dimmable and I believe there is a wattage minimum for the switch to work. So you may need multiple LEDs tied into the switch. Like how a bathroom light has multiple bulbs. (Not sure what the minimum wattage per switch is, I've read it somewhere but haven't ran into that problem as I only use halogen bulbs so far).

Touch dimmer is just like any other dimmers. As long as your dimmer switch is specifically CFL/LED dim compatible, then you should be fine.

If they are incandescent lights (glass bulbs with tungsten filaments), yes, they will will work regardless of how many there are or how big they are. You just need to stay under 300 watts total.Some LED lights will work also, if they are dimmable, but LED compatibility with a dimmer depends on the LED lights and the dimmer, and not all combinations work correctly for all levels of dimming.

Usually dimmable refers to light bulbs. So if you put a dimmable light bulb into it, it should work.

If your bulb is standard incandescent then this dimmer will work fine on any setting of the lamp. Make sure the bulb maximum wattage is less than the Lutron rating. You may just want to set the lamp to its brightest and use the Lutron to set the actual light level.

This switch most certainly DOES work for incandescent bulbs. I know this, because it is currently (get it?) working in my incandescent lamp. If your original dimmer was 500W 120V 60H this will work. I'm not an electrical engineer, but I can't think of a single way the switch would know what type of bulb it is outputting power to, which is why I used it, and I couldn't be happier.

If it's a dimmable led it will work. Check with your led manufacturer. I'm using this with a cfl and it works fine. You may get some flicker at low levels.

yes...but the dimming feature will only work on LEDs that have that ability.

In my experience this will not work with LEDs. The on/off switch works fine. We tried these with Cree recessed lighting and it failed completely. We also tried adding dimmable LED bulbs to a chandelier and it would not work.
