Will this work with CFL or fluorescent bulbs?

This model's specifications only list incandescent. The 6136 Heath/Zenith BL-6136-WH Wireless Switch Outlet, White model supports fluorescent.

I would have said no, the SL6133 does NOT, based on my experience with mine, but seeing the previous two answers, I would again state that if the CFL is labeled as dimmable, they might.

i had no issue with it working the flourescents i had a pair of them and it works great. your mileage may vary. also my flourecents used the newer ballast system instead of the old style.

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.

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.

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

Yes, this sensor will work with LED, CFL, and fluorescent bulbs because it uses a built-in mechanical relay to turn on the bulb. The relay makes it act like a regular switch as far as the bulb is concerned.

the device has a relay so yes it can handel most any CFL or LED bulb. I use one of these to control several CFL lamp fixtures at once, no problem if you can do the wiring. Look for the PDF file on the Heath/Zenith web page, just keep your wattage well below the 500 watt max limit and your good to go. (Ten 30 watt CFL bulbs is 300 watts so one CFL light is an easy day for this unit).

yeah, I have a 60w incandescent in mine, so I wouldn't see why a CFL wouldn't work.

Yes this fixture will accept CFL bulbs with a medium base, but you may not like how it looks since the glass is clear. I would suggest using a clear incandescent bulb and put a dimmer on the switch to saving electricity.

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

Namely's comments made me reply that this switch is NOT being used with a CFL! It is a ceiling mount light fixturewith regular 40 watt bulbs.

Yes.. this is a standard CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light) but way over priced. Try Home Depot or Loews!

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

It will work and dim with any bulb but will not dim with CFL bulbs. They sell their own LED bulb that does not need a switch or module to control it.

No, you cannot use CFL bulbs. However, it works very well with regular light bulbs.

You will need a dimmer made for CFL and LED bulbs. They are readily available and only cost a little more than standard ones.

Not sure what a cfl bulb is. I don't no why you would want anything other then a 3 way. It's a great feature. Tell what a cfl is and I will try it.

I don't know what you mean by an cfl. But I will tell you it works only on regular light bulbs. Round ones.

I don't think so. The device is designed to create a suction between the bulb and the attachment. Not sure how you would create this suction on a cfl bulb.
