Battery is a backup. Can't be replaced. Some models DO NOT work with CFL bulbs. Go to their web site to find out.

Our unit is meant for 40w bulb. You can use CFL equivalent to a 40w reg. bulb.

This works just like any other CFL bulb.Screw it in, plug it in, and turn it on.My advise to you is to try another bulb that you know works in the fixture and if it works then try the CFL again. If the CFL does not work my guess is that it was damaged in shipping or the bulb you received may just be defective. It happens. Amazon is really good about standing behind what they ship. If that bulb is bad I am sure they will quickly send you a replacement bulb.I hope my response was helpful.Good luck

Looks like it's rated for 1000 watts so I think it will work. It's not like the CFL bulbs need starters.

It doesn't work on my CFL. I either need to find a CFl that fits these or return them.

Yes. I have been running CFLs off three of these timers for more than a year. Works fine.

Yes this is designed for incandescent lights & halogen lights are a high efficiency incandescent light. Will not work properly with CFL but may work with LED depending on the particular bulb.

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 have not had any success with CFLs. Originally, I purchased some CFLs from Home Depot, and ended up returning them, since the motion detection lighting did not work with CFLs.

Yes it will work on CFL and I use two 7 watts candelabra lightbulbs. The 40 watt load doesn't seem to come in play. The great part about the switch, it keeps the time and does not need to be reset if the electricity goes out.

If it's a dimmable led it will work. Check with your led manufacturer. I'm using this with a cfl and it works fine. You may get some flicker at low levels.

Yes, I'm using it with a CFL right now. I would assume it would be fine with an LED as well.

i had a Utilitech 15watt bulb for almost a year in it and it just died. i just started researching about why and i have a feeling this model isn't rated for CFLs since they have their own CFL specific dimmers. i'm not finding anywhere with a list of approved CFL bulbs for it either.

It depends on whether you are going to be using a regular or CFL bulb. I purchased mine from a vender on ebay it was a Hampton Bay / Hunter Ceiling Fan Remote Control kit for CFL bulbs, but I did a search here on Amazon and they have quite a few kits that will work with regular bulbs a Litex RC-103 Universal Ceiling Fan Remote Control, White, and a Ceiling Fan Remote Control Universal Kit by Lightingindoors. Your best bet is just to do a search here on Amazon under All Departments use Ceiling Fan Remote Control kit and make sure you look at the reviews!! I hope this helps you out!! John

Yes, the CFL bulbs won't make any difference however mine didn't work at all so I'd be a bit hesitant to make the purchase if I were you. Had nothing to do with the type of bulbs it just wouldn't work.

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.

Through research, I found out they do not work with CFL or LED Bulbs. I ended up going with Maestro by Lutron MS-OPS2-WH and they work GREAT! Toughr.
