Does dimmer functions with all types of light bulbs including the newer LED?

This controller ONLY works with dimmable bulbs. It does not work with non-dimmable CFL bulbs. It works great with the Cree dimmable LED bulbs sold at Home Depot.

Yes. This truly is a great remote, it works perfectly. I will buy it again when I need another one.

there are special dimmer for LED it should say on the box if they are compatible. the difference is LED's cannot go as low as a regular bulbs, so led dimmer have an adjustment for that.

Touch dimmer is just like any other dimmers. As long as your dimmer switch is specifically CFL/LED dim compatible, then you should be fine.

Yes any dimmer rated for 1.5 times the watts will work. If you had old bulbs on the switch the new bulbs will work and use much less electric Barry

Probably not. In my experience, when you try to use a standard dimmer on "dimmable" LED lights, it does not work. The wattage is different. Usually if it is a group of lights they cannot all be LED; you have to put one or two incandescent lights in the circuit so the dimmer works.Hope this helps.

I have not used bulb with dimmer, but I am almost certain this incandescent bulb will work with a standard incandescent dimmer. Worth trying.

Most any dimmer will "work" with a dimmable bulb, but the low priced dimmers don't dim as well. Not a smooth transition, flickering, etc.

It doesn't work with dimmers but it's easy to look for replacement bulbs. I purchased mine here (I swear it works really great; bright and durable): Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

I am having no problems with my led bulbs. I have been told that some of the less expensive dimmers don't work with led bulbs.

Yes. It acts as an on/off switch so even non-dimmable bulbs will work. I have two controlling CFLs non problem, and will eventually replace them with LEDs when the time comes.

No. You will need to buy bulbs that are labeled as dimable. The dimmer switch used will have to be for cfl bulbs and match the power consumption rating matches the particular bulbs you buy.

Your dimmer switch doesn't have to be compatible, the light bulb does. It will say LED dimmable in description

It most likely won't dim LED bulbs as its for incandescent bulbs. If the LED bulb is dimmable you should try a lutron C.L dimmer, which is made for LEDs.

I use the dimmers with LED lights, but according to the manufacturer, they're supposed to work with CFLs as well.

Yes. I installed one with mine and it works great. Make sure dimmer switch is compatible with LED lamps.

Short answer: yes and no. I've found that LEDs which declare themselves dimmable do dim with old-fashioned rotary dimmers. But my attempt to combine LEDs and a fancy Lutron dimmer/motion-detector failed - the dimmer wouldn't bring the LEDs above half brightness. Be prepared to do some experiments and have some failures.

I did not have it installed with a dimmer but given my experience with this type of bulb I do believe it will work.
