Does this work with LED recessed lights ?

I have this switch on three circuits that utilize LED bulbs and one that uses halogen. With Halogen, it is flawless, but there is a flicker on each of the LED circuits, adjusting the amount of dim only works for a few minutes, and at the lowest setting, it will either turn off after a few minutes and/or they fail to illuminate when they are set to the lowest setting, when initially turned on.

This dimmer does not work well with LED lights. They require a dimmer specific for use with LED or dimmable CFL's--these dimmers can be found on the Amazon website. If you use this dimmer here with a circuit with LED lights, one or two of the lights will have to be incandescent bulbs or the dimmer does not work at all.

I have actually had success using this with a set of three Feit recessed LED units. It's not perfect, but it does get the job done. Specifically, some dimmer settings cause some flicker. But all you have to do is raise or lower the dimmer and it's easy to find a setting that causes no flicker. I agree that it's best to use a dimmer switch designed for LEDs, but in a pinch, this one could work.

I made the mistake of buying these based on the answers here. Lutron advised against using these. My electrician refused to install them with the LED lighting given all the $$$ spent on putting in new LEDs. Sending these back. Don't buy for LEDs.

It depends on the depth of your cabinets and where your lights are mounted at. I have LED light bars at the back of all my cabinets and it works just fine on mine.

Yes it will work very well with both LED and CFL lights.......I've had both but currently using LEDs.

First this comes in two sizes;make sure the R20 is the bulb you want. Next, I do not have this on a dimmer but if the recessed can you have is on a dimmer I see no reason why this wont work with a dimmer as it acts just an extension.

Yes. I installed one with mine and it works great. Make sure dimmer switch is compatible with LED lamps.

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.

This changes a 3-prong grounded plug into a 2-prong plug. It will work with LED lights.

This would be a problem. The adapter with the bulb measure about 7" and probably would not be recessed. Anothr problem would be the control cord sticking out of the side of the adapter. You would have to modify the recessed can to accept this.

I am not sure but the wise thing to do is buy the remote switch without the dimmer capability. I'm sorry but I still use them on spot bulbs. But it shouldn't work with LED. My advise is to get the on/off remote switch to be on the safe side.

Julia P., this switch should work with any lights that are on the circuit. I did not have LED light bulbs attached, but this switch simply turns an existing circuit on and off. So whatever you had attached to the circuit before will work the same. Hope that helps.

Just to be clear, these baffles are the trims only, the recessed light fixture is separate. I do believe, however, that these trims will work with the low voltage light you are using. Hope this helps!

You need to look for one that says specifically "for recessed light." This globe is ok, but the trim kit up top will not work without a recessed light kit.

Hi. Yes they will work with LED lights. I had the switch controlling 6 GE LED kitchen lights

I don't see why not. It just provides low voltage. If the LED light is designed to attach to low voltage wiring, it should work. Check the voltage specification.

Recessed lights must be powered from fan box and wired to receiver as if they were a light kit. DON'T go over the max wattage of receiver and all will work fine. It's been done before. I recommend an electrician making the proper connections though. Your loved ones are not replaceable.

The spec sheet shows it works with "all types of lighting" so I'd say yes to LEDs. I use it on CFLs with no problem. Follow the link in the product listing to the user's manual for more details.

Not necessarily. I used this with 4 LED spotlight bulbs that I found on eBay for a few bucks a piece.The switch did not know how to handle the bulbs. The scenes wouldnt work. I was able to schedule the bulbs to turn on, but not turn off.I called SmartHome and they said LEDs are not compatible with this switch unless, of course, they are Insteon LED bulbs
