Will this work with CFL bulbs?

I had to get LED bulbs, my electrician installed CFLs that were marked,"not for use with dimmer". He said they were, but I also saw the box they came in and it said not for use with dimmer. The LEDs cost more, but are engineered to last much longer than CFLs. I am looking at them now, and I think it was worth the money to get the LEDs. They seem brighter than the CFL bulbs also.

No! It will not work with CFL bulbs.It only works with incandescent light bulbs.

I used it with halogen mini candlelabra bulbs (ceramic base ) in our chandelier and wall sconces.

Yes, it works with CFL, LEDs, fluorescent, etc. I have 2 of these, one hooked to CFLs and the other hooked to LEDs, and it works perfectly fine.

I don't see why not. It's basically an on-off switch. I'm using mine with a CFL with no problem (except I don't like the CFL's brightness or warm-up time). But the fixture works just fine in turning the lights on and off. I'm sure it will work equally well with an LED bulb (which is what I'm gong to do myself next time a bulb needs to be changed).

It has worked fine with our LED bulbs. I can't speak to how it would work with CFL bulbs.

No. I had it installed and noticed on the last line of the instructions it said it was NOT for CFL's.

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

I've used it with CFL bulbs. It only turns them off and on. There is no longer a dimmer function though.

Don't Know if CFL will work or not, have not tried a CFL bulb in the socket but I suspect that they will fit and if they fit, they will work. Some CFL's come on slow so you may be beyond the light before it comes on enough to see.

I don't know if CFL would handle this type, since it doesn't just cut on and off, the lights brighten and dim with my incandescent bulbs in it. It isn't marked as CFL compatible.

I see no reason why you cannot use a cfl bulb. Just make sure the wattage is no more than 40.

To my knowledge, I don't think so. There are cfl bulbs that are specifically designed for dimmer operation.

Yes, the switch works with CFL lights. I have installed CFL lights for my outside garage lights and they work great. The switch has been working over 2+ years with zero problems. I still highly recommend it.

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

I would assume so. It just provides power to your fixture, so if your fixture can do CFL, then you should be fine.

It should have no problems with CFL or LED bulbs, it does not alter the electrical current going through it. I use it for my home theater projector (connected as if it was the fan).
