Will this work with flourescents? I'm assuming that falls under the incandescent family, but not sure...

It works with incandescents and LEDs. It will also work perfectly with fluorescent bulbs if they are "dimable" bulbs. If you try to dim any non-dimable fluorescent, they tend to flicker a lot. (Please note that some LED bulbs will flicker a tiny amount at very dimmed settings.) Overall I am very happy with this dimmer. It installed very easily and functions perfectly.

I'm not sure about cfl but I know it doesn't turn off an led. Worst case you'll need to add a switch somewhere in the system to actually turn the light off

I would not recommend it. Usually it will make a noise and flicker unless on the bulb package it says can be used with a dimmer switch

Incandescent lamps have a tungsten filament that incandesces, or glows brightly, when electricity is passed through it. Fluorescent lamps produce light by electrical discharge through gas in the tube. Fluorescent lamps generally aren't dimmable, apart from some compact fluorescents that screw into regular light sockets. If they are made to dim, it will say so on the box.

I use mine with Halogen bulb in one of those torchiere floor lamps after its dimmer switch melted.

It says NO CFL and I think they also mean NO Fluorescent / as CFL just another shape for fluorescent bulbs /

I've only used them with incandescent bulbs so can't really answer that. You may try asking the manufacturer of the unit, or else just expect to use the older bulbs. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I'm using it with florescent lighting but the instructions say it will work with any current bulb. I'm sure the LED's will be fine.

Either. It will work with any bulb that has an E26 base. I use a 23-Watt (100W) Spiral CFL and the light is just outstanding and bright, It doesn't heat up and it perfectly fits. This bulb is really a good find for this lamp, I highly recommend it Triangle Bulbs T90020 (Pack of 2) G16 Decorative Globe Light Bulbs 300 Lumen 5-watt LED Light Bulb with E26 Base, Color 3000K, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

No this does not work well with CFL, only incandescent lamps. Tried it once, when I first received the unit, it flickers continuously, meaning, not compatible. Hope this helps!

It also didn't work with an LED bulb I tried. All it did was Dim the bulb. The bulb I tried was not dimmable. Wondering if a Dimmable LED bulb would work. I tried 3 different brands of CFLs and one of them did work without flickering. The CFL bulb that worked was a 7 watt Greenlite which I received from my electric company.

If you mean Compact Flourescent Light (CFL), then yes. Mine is running an one of these:Exo Terra Repti-Glo 5.0 Compact Fluorescent Tropical Terrarium Lamp, 26-Watt

Yes, anything flourescent or bight white will glow, it works just like a regular blacklight.

sorry I am Not sure I've only used with incandescent and a lot of these products only work with incandescent best bet is probably to try contacting the manufacturer

It works with dimmable leds and halos. Don't know about compact florescents but don't think so. I have never seen compact florescents with that base.

I think it should, I have it working with both cfl and LEDs. No problem so far.

Untrue, the light heads are universal for fluorescent bulbs. I have actually replaced the generic bulbs from this kit for some w/ higher Watts as well as colored bulbs. I purchased mine at my local Batteries Plus... but you can find them online as well.

It takes most standard incandescent bulbs except for the ones that have multiple brightness settings. It does not work with the compact fluorescent bulbs even though they fit in the socket.

The instructions say that Lightkeeper Pro only works on incandescent lights; it won't work on LED strands.

I have compact fluorescent bulbs plugged into mine and it works just fine. I imagine LEDs would work with it as well (as long as they aren't the type of fixture that you have to touch/tap to turn on).

Yes it will. Any light fixture will work with a dimmer, it's the bulb that matters. Some bulbs you can't use with dimmers. Some of the LED bulbs use different dimmers than incandescent bulbs, just ask the person in the store what kind you need for the bulb you have.

I am not sure. It will depend on how deep you globe is. The bulb measures 3 1/2" after it is screwed in. If your globe is deeper than that then it should work fine. These bulbs burn a lot cooler than incandesant bulbs so should be fine in a globe. Mine are open globes so I do not have any issues.
