Will this work with fluorescentt grow lights?

I don't see why not it is simply a solid state controlled on/off switch. The one I have is to control a Roomba vacuum charger which is in my bedroom, and I don't want to see the charger indicator lights in the night or have to plug/unplug the charger every day to achieve that.

Yes. That is precisely why I bought it. I've been using it to operate two fluorescent grow lights for my bonsai tree. Works great.

Your existing fixtures work. However they have to be required. I have two types and each set has its own special wiring... And will not work with fl ballast.

Yes it will, no problem. LEDs are better though. Cfls have a very poor power factor and are less efficient.

It works with any CFL bulb with a standard thread http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005P29K1S/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 is what I have in mine over some seedlings right now

It's my understanding that LED lighting is not suitable for live plants....fluorescent lighting is what works best.

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.

Yes, CFL works, but I don't like the "warm up" time it takes them to hit their stated lumen output. The unit clearly states the maximum watts the unit can handle - which is pretty high.Like a previous responder, I switched over to led's. More expensive, of course.

It should work fine. We use this bulb in all of our table lamps. The bulb is a little bit longer, but that has not been a problem. Also we could remove all the harp spreaders we had installed to allow cfl's to be used.

Yes you can use it with fluorescent lighting as long as the wattage is above 40. You just cannot use energy saving light bulbs.http://yourhome.honeywell.com/home/Products/Safety+and+Security/Programmable+Timer+Switches/RPLS540A.htm

Hi Jose... No, you would need the fluorescent light as well. This led isn't powerful enough by itself to sustain your corals.

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.

The spec sheet shows it works with "all types of lighting" so I'd say yes to LEDs. I use it on CFLs with no problem. Follow the link in the product listing to the user's manual for more details.

It depends on amount of light you can give it. The included LED light will not be enough light for growing plants.

Yes, but I personally wouldn't do that. LEDs are not perfected for the planted aquarium yet unless you go for the ADA aquarium company which I wouldn't do because of the price. The fluval compact fluorescent that comes with the fluval flora should be perfect. I actually did it on my spec. You need to have a timer and set it for 6 hours or less. That's it don't do eight because algea growth can start and you don't want that. You also will need to do lots of water changes.

This light will screw into a standard size light socket. But, it is a grow light for growing plants indoors. It's really, really bright. The ballast and the bulb are quite a bit bigger than a standard compact flourescent light and the ballast gets pretty hot. Hope this helps.

yes but I finally went with the coiled fluorescent and it is much better don't remember the amazon number but if you search for growth bulbs it also fits in a regular light socket.
