will this work with low watt leds? 18w or less

I've been using mine with a really low wattage LED porch light for about 2 years now. The bulb and the timer have been working fine all of this time.

I Like it, only complaint is that the display could be brighter and larger. You have to follow the instructions veryclosely.

You shouldn't have any problems with it as long as you feed it 16 volts or over and use a proper heat sink on the led.

It should. Most LEDs don't require too much energy to power them corrrectly. I tested out a 50ft strand and it worked great.

It calculates to 440 ohm 1/4 watt resistor. You may be able to use a 420. Are you really only using 1 resistor with the 12 volt supply? I would put more LEDs in series. Like 3 LEDs with 135 ohms. Or 4 in series with no resistor.

I use 60W Sylvania DOUBLElife, Multi use. They're teardrop shaped. But I bet you could use a lower wattage with no problem. I just wouldn't use a higher wattage.

These are only one watt. So you power supply will be minimal. I would by the smallest transformer. I don't know what that would be. Perhaps a 50? With LEDs you can go small and save money! Note when you go to set your timer be advised that the red indicator is to turn on the light. A bit counter intuitive.

The CFL/LED designation means it will work with low watt lamps, regardless of the lamp base. There should be no problems.

You should use the 11 watts as the instructions say. If you use a higher watt, you could damage the light

I looked at the .pdf manual. It says "Incandescent" at the top of the page, so it will not work well with LEDs. As someone said, that's why the low price.

yes, it should work fine,Leds are very low amperage, you might have to use a resister to limit voltage depending on the LED Rating.

The specs say 60 W. I'm using low consumption LEDs and they're working fine.

Hi Brad, sure should work seamless for the 60 W LED. In general, I would always stay ca. 30% below the max. Watts given by the manufacturers of such devices because of temperature issues. Other than that, I use this one for one year now without any problem. Hope this helps.Best regardsPatric

It probably depends on the LEDs. I'm using EcoSmart 6 in. 9.5-Watt (65W) Soft White (2700K) LED Downlights with the CREE LEDs, and they're great; extremely dimmable and very steady output.

If the leds have more than 55watts then us if under 30watts then their fine

Yes. It only produces light equivalent of 65w and uses less and is dimable so as long as you use standard size bulb fixture it should work great.

Spec is incorrect. This is an LED device, which allows for a low wattage system.

I am using 17 w LED bulbs witch are rather large, I don't have a 23w fluorescent bulb to try but they should fit
