Has anyone used this dimmer with the Cree BR30 650 Lumen 9.5W Soft White 2700K bulb? Does it dim low? I know this is not supported by Lutron.

I did it, it does not work... it blinked for an instant and seconds after that, just some flashlight inside the bulb and everything went to dark; the bulb went to trash....

Yes it dims from full high or full low, you can ajust the light with the remote or the panel .You must use dimmable LEDs with this unit it works great.

It has worked well with Ecosmart A19 2700K LED Bulb 6 Watt, 40 Watt Equivalent Omni-Directional, Dimmable, Soft White (2-pack) for about 9 months now. I can't say if it impacts the overall life of the LEDs though.

Are they CFL light bulbs? I heard, but don't know for sure, that they may not be able to be dimmed. I'm probably all wet. My Lutron works GREAT and I love it. So sorry for your woes.

I bought it for LED bulbs in the hall. In one fixture I had 60W brightness, in the other 40W. It dimmed both, but the one fixture dimmed all the way to out while the other one was still on a bit, but it worked fine for me. The LED light color did not change to more yellow that I could see as it dimmed. There was no buzzing or any issues.

I wouldnt use it with LED. LED lights require different dimmers. Found that out the hard way. They use less power and requires a dimmer that can properly adjust to that. Im waiting for Lutron to release a LED Dimmer with Remote. Not sure what is taking them so long

The min/max wattage comment (by Scott) is spot on. My fixture had 3 dimmable LEDs and I had flickering. I swapped out one LED bulb for an incandescent to get above the min wattage. All flickering is gone. dimming works as expected.

I got a slightly different model TBL03, but it looks the same. I use it for three lamps via a triple plug connected to the dimmer. It works well with LED lights so far. Mine is rated for max 300 W incandescent or 150 W LED/CFL. My LED bulbs are 9 W each, so x3 is only 27W total.

Hi SH, I just installed the fan this weekend. I ended up replacing my original dimmer switch with a Lutron Fan/Light dimmer combined switch. It is a little pricey but works wonderful and gives much more control over the fan and lighting then the remote. I highly recommend it. Although the switch does not mention compatibility with LEDs, it does in fact work flawlessly with the LED in the fan. Lutron MA-LFQHW-WH Maestro Fan Control and Dimmer Kit, White

I didn't use it with Cree.What I use with this dimmer is a dimmable A19 LED light from Triangle Bulbs and it's working well for me for 2 years now. I like the light output because it's beautiful. It's also durable. Triangle Bulbs T95123-6 (6pack) - LED Dimmable 60 Watt Equivalent Daylight A19 Light Bulbs, 6 pack

The "glow" from this light is soft like an incandescent. It is not like the sterile white light from a CREE bulb. I don't know the answer to the second part, but I assume that it would not need to be connected to a dimmer.

I tried the dimmer with 2 ceiling lights with Cree soft white TW series. No buzzing, BUT when turning on the lights, they flicker once, and then don't always come on again. After flipping the switch a couple of times, they work correctly -- until they've been turned off for a few minutes. Then the probably occurs again, but only once. I've confirmed that incandescents work just fine, so it's not the electrical wiring.I have 60w Cree TW bulbs with an older Lutron dimmer that's designed for incandescents, and that combination doesn't have the same problem. The lights just don't fade in as well, because the older dimmer isn't designed to start with so little power, I guess. They fade out just fine though.

I'm using this dimmer and the Diva with the Cree LED bulbs and they all buzz. The buzzing is definitely a known issue with the Cree bulbs on basically any dimmer. I get buzzing on the full range, from dimmed all the way down to full power. If you check out reviews for the Cree bulbs (Amazon & home improvement stores) you'll see a lot comments about the buzzing with dimmers. Which is very disappointing since I like the Cree bulbs. For me the other positives of the Cree's out weigh the buzzing con.

I don't think so, it uses a 40W flourecent bold ( bright wight ) flourecent lights will not dim only flicker and the design will not let you put a standard light blob because it has a special fit

It is working fine for me. I have it in the dinning room running about 9 LED bulbs. 8 3.5 watts and one 12.5 watts. Works great. Used this to replace an X10 dimmer that was nothing but problems. Make sure you have a load and a nuteral in your switch box. You will use 3 wires to hook this up. The nuteral is going to connect to the lamp, the dimmer and the feed. Your load is going to connect to the dimmer. Your line is going to connect to the dimmer. Think of this dimmer as an appliance with a light connected to it. Comes with great instructions.

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

Lutron SCL-153P-WH Skylark CL 150-watt CFL/LED/Incandescent Dimmer, WhiteThis is the one I used but any dimmer that will work with cfl/led bulbs can be used. This one is adjustable to lower the light output to roughly 20% of full brightness.
