Will this work with CFL bulbs?

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

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

We have this timer on our front porch. Our lights on the front porch are CFL bulbs. The first timer we installed ended up not working very good, but we had another one. My husband installed it almost a year ago and it's working just fine. We set the time we want the light to come on and the time for the lights to turn out. Can't complain.

The directions said "no" and we haven't tried to go against them. They work beautifully with regular lightbulbs.

Yes, but the bulbs must be dimmable. Most CFL bulbs are not dimmable; most other bulbs are. With 100 watt bulbs it is very bright - it makes a huge improvement to my bathroom.

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.

According to others that have commented on this Timer, it does work with CFL light bulbs. (That's probably because the ST01 uses a battery to keep store the programming for on/off times.)

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.

This is simply a photovotaic switch, so all it does is turn on a circuit and has nothing to do with the type of bulb in the circuit. I use it with my frontyard lantern, which uses a 100W HP Sodium bulb, so it will work with a low wattage CFL.

It does work with LED's and CFL's. The problem is longevity. Mine only lasted 1.5 years.

It works with any CFL bulb with a standard thread Hydroponic Full Spectrum CFL Grow Light Bulb 60 Watt Bulb 5500K H60 is what I have in mine over some seedlings right now

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.

Yes - of course it depends what kind of light bulb you put in it. I have 3 LED bulbs that work great on a dimmer. CFLs will not work as we'll.

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.

Yes Cheryl it will work with CFL bulbs. I have two lamps on one remote outlet one of the lamps has a standard bulb and the other has a CFL and the remote works flawlessly, I would't want to be without my wireless remote control!

It will work with Halogen, I don't know about CFL as I refuse to use them for a number of reasons, one their blue color and the other is their toxicity. Just remember that with this unit you need to have at least 40 watts for a load. If you are going to use them with LED lighting which typically will be less than 40 watts, then you need to get the other Honeywell model RPLS740B (in the color you want, as this one is white). I hope this answers your question.

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.

I have used it with a CFL, but I don't know if it will work with a LED bulb.

This one should work with LED bulbs. I installed with CFL bulbs and standard bulbs and it worked fine.

Be very aware of your light bulb type before purchasing. I cannot say if it will do what you want. We use CFL (compact florescent) bulbs and those will not work at all with this switch. As another answer said, the LED bulbs might, but unless the description has changed nothing is mentioned online even about CFL bulbs, though it does appear in the very tiny print on the packaging once you receive it. Good luck though.
