Will this item work with LED lights?

NO. I initially put in LED lights and discovered that it would not go off. The brightness is adjustable from fully on to dim. I understand that a small current continues to flow in order to keep the sensors in the wall units active. It works with filament bulbs, I believe, because the small current is low enough that the filament does not glow. The LEDs are very sensitive to this small current. I believe that the system could be wired to solve the LED problem if the circuit was redesigned.

It worked on my Christmas tree led lights. A similar product is sold a Lowe's.

I don't know about LED type lamps, but it's been working great with a compact fluorescent(23W, day light); so I don't see why it wouldn't work with LED. Just be careful when connecting the wires, our color code does not match theirs. I also got mine in 10 days, not the 30 days stated. Good Luck

Yes...I have added a dimmer switch to mine. Just be sure your get the correct dimmer switch. Not all dimmer switches will work with LED fixtures.

If you have the correct USB cable, yes. Item does not include a "lighting" cable.

Yes, this dimmer, and in fact all dimmers, will work with dimmable LED lights. It just won't work well. There are a number of drawbacks to using a standard dimmer with LED lights, including the light not getting as dim as it could and not lighting-up if the dimmer is set too low. I don't *think* it has any effect on the lifetime of the led bulb. If you want to control dimmable LED lights (and dimmable CFLs) then you need a HID dimmer to rectify the shortcomings of a standard dimmer. I personally have only standard dimmers in my now totally LED lit home, but I will slowly be swapping out the old dimmers for new HIDs.

It should as long as the 12vdc supply is external, IE its from a plugged in transformer/regulator, you must use this as a supply for the timer, the output from the timer goes to your led lights.

YES THIS WORKS WITH LED LIGHTS.....but the LED must say DIMMABLE on the packaging. I am using one as I write. It is Soft-White (and looks like an incandescent) 150 Watt equivalent-2200 lumens by FEIT Electric. In my area MENARDS carries these at various wattage equivalents!!!

Yes, it will work with LED bulbs. I put a LED light bar on a trailer and it works fine when the brakes are applied.

Yes, it works well with low wattage lights including incandescent and LED bulbs. There is a relay built-in that "clicks" when the lights change state (OFF to ON or ON to OFF). In wiring the light, there is a connection to neutral (white) and hot (black) although the color of the wires may differ depending on whether it is a 3-way or single pole.

I don't know about LED lights, but I use mine with CFL lights and they work great!!!!!!!! Have several timers in place and it sure makes life easier!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a very good question that should be answered by an electronics engineer with experience with LED lights. Maybe Amazon can provide?

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.

Depends what kind. There are many different LED bulbs these days. Some it will for sure but I don't use many different kind go I can't guarantee it will work with all. But generally does the job.

I do not know if this will work for 12 volt LED lights. I cannot advise you on that at all.

Yes, it works just fine, I have all of these switches with led lights, the switch doesn't care what light it is controlling

It does work with LED bulbs but I am having a problem where my LED security lights (from Costco) keep burning out somehow in less than a month of use. I don't know yet if it's related to the switch or the security lights are just sub par but I didn't have this problem until I replaced my normal light switch with this timer switch. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe not.
