Has anyone tried this successfully with the new dimmable LED bulbs?

Not yet. I'm guessing the lamp should work OK with it; and, considering LEDs consume a lot less power than incandesent, you could probably get by with the cheaper 150W version. My only issue with dimmer switches such as wall mounted light (dimmer) switches, is that they don't work with those new 'Neon Light' like light bulbs that consume less power. Good luck.

I don't know for sure. But if the LED(s) is (are) truly dimmable based on going from one power level to another then it (they) should work just fine with the touch switch you are asking about. The touch switch in question, and any like it, will likely not work well with CFBs which are usually built to operate on a fixed power level.

Yes, works great with CFL, which are what I'm using. I believe it shouldn't be a problem with LEDs as well. This switch is not a dimmer, it is 100% on or 100% off on a timer. My understanding is that some CFL and LED bulbs can not be dimmed which would be a problem if one were to use them on a dimmer switch.

I haven't tried dimming the ones I have. I looked up LED lamps to see if they are dimmable. It appears some are. I can't say for sure about this one. I love the ones I have. Very crisp white light, using minimum power. :)

I have it connected to incandescent lights, but I think the ability of the LED to dim is on the bulb manufacturer not the dimmer. You must look for damnable LED bulbs.

What type of bulb are you using? The lamp works best with regular incandescent or the newest dimmable LED bulbs. CFL's are not compatible with this lamp

I've been using flourescent bulbs in mine without any problem. Hope that helps!

I first tried it with the old dimmer but it flickered a lot when starting up. Also, there wasn't quite as big a range of illumination. I had a new install as well with a LED dimmer and that has a much wider range of illumination--all the way down to barely visible. Using Lutron dimmers that state that they are for LEDs. Good luck, and welcome to the future!

I did! It worked fine. I would purchase new bulbs though...the ones it come with arent the best quality. It truly is a lovey piece!

Jennifer, they didn't work at all for me. The lamps would not stay on. I bought them because the swiitches on our lamps kept stripping out. We would up just having the switches replaced. The dimmers went in the "i bought it but it doesn't work" graveyard.

Yes and no, respectively. Use non-LED is the only solution. I tried another LED fixture, different manufacturer, same issue. I'm going back to incandescent.

Haven't tried them with LED lights. I couldn't get them to work with compact fluorescent lamps,

I have used this dimmer on regular lighting and low voltage lighting. Never on a dimmable LED fixture. Buy the switch from a store that has a liberal return policy and try it out. Then of course let us know... Good luck!

Yes and not sure about the dimmable LED bulbs. The bulbs they come with are still in ours.

I am using the previously installed dimmers meant to work with incandescent bulbs. The dimming range of LED bulbs is not as extensive as when using incandescent bulbs.

I have done it and it works fine. Produces less heat that 65 watt incandescent. Also works with standard dimmer. Great bulb.

Not an expert, but I'd say yes and no. They're changing the led light bulbs to work with dimmers, not the other way around. But I do use these dimmers with dimmable Leds, and have had no issues.

I have used mine with normal incandescent bulbs and LEDs without a problem. I have not used this dimmer with a Halogen bulb but do not see that the Halogen should be any different than a normal incandescent bulb as far as the dimmer is concerned.
