I use the LED flood lights. They are great! They've been in there for a few years.

I did a test with a household CFL twist and a BR40 CFL bulb, they both turned on off just fine.

LEDs are gooooooood. This is what I've been using and I'm pretty sure it will work well for you, too Triangle Bulbs (4-Pack) 12-Watt (80-Watt) Soft White Floodlight BR40 LED Light Bulb, 1050 Lumens, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

Yes you should be able to use those flood light bulbs , mine is outside, so I use outdoor bulbs only, but whether it is in or out you should be fine.

I am using CFL bulbs which are available in both bright white or warm white and in the brightness desired.

I have not tried on CFL's only in use on chandelier lights with 25-60W candelabra standard bulbs.

You should be able to. They even kinda work with CFLs; although I don't recommend it.

I use LED flood lights and they work fine for me. I use the day-light type.

Thank you for your responses. Does CFL have to do with the size of the base? Is that why it wouldn't be compatible Raymond?

To my knowledge, I don't think so.There are cfl bulbs that are specifically designed for dimmer operation.

Yes, we use CFL's in both of ours. We just have to click the switch twice, instead of once, to turn on the lamp. We really like the lamps.

Yes, I'm using it with a CFL right now. I would assume it would be fine with an LED as well.

Yes you can.. And they come with a nice switch and plenty of wire.. With connector's.. Check out their website.. They make a combined spot flood. Light..

Yes. I had CFLs in until I received the LEDs I ordered, and they seemed to work just fine. Perhaps a little dim, but that may have been the bulb, since the LEDs are bright.

I use the dimmers with LED lights, but according to the manufacturer, they're supposed to work with CFLs as well.

Yes. I have used both the 60 and 100 watt version of a CFL since I first bought this product.

I went to Home Depot and purchased 90W LED out door bulbs. I'm sure they are here on amazon also. Works great. Don't need the flood lights, regular indoor/outdoor bulbs will do.

You can use this dimmer with Dimmable CFL bulds. There may be some issues such as listed at this link from Lutron ...http://www.lutron.com/en-US/Education-Training/Pages/LCE/DimmingCFLsandLEDs.aspx.Otherwise you can get dimmers specifically made for CFL bulds. See below link from Lutron.http://www.lutron.com/en-US/Products/Pages/StandAloneControls/C.Ldimmers/Overview.aspx

It all depends on the rating of the circuit and how many other loads are on it. A typical residential lighting circuit is 15A (15A breaker in the panel) or in some cases 20A. A flood light has two bulbs, say 150W each for a total of 300W, which divided by 120V (Ohm's law) yields 2.5A. If there is room for extra 2.5A on an existing circuit, without going over its rating, then it is OK to install the flood lights on that circuit. I hope it helps.

You don't have to install the CFL bulbs that come with the unit. You can install LED types which ARE able to be dimmed.
