Does the dimmer work for LED lights?I have 6 x 65 w LED that use 11w each

I believe it depends on the LED lights themselves. I used this dimmer with incandescent lights but some under counter LED lights I'm looking at show this same dimmer as a dimmer option for them.

i believe they are rated for 600 watts per- i have 6 x 65 in several places on these dimmers-

I got these thinking they'd work with my LED bulbs - they did for a few months and then stopped. I researched it and you're supposed to use special dimmers for CFL/LED lights. I bought these instead (says LED in the title) and they work well with my LED recessed lights. I have 5 11w (65w equivalent) lights on one switch. Lutron MACL-153M-WH Maestro 150-Watt Multi-Location CFL/LED Digital DimmerDaveH46 is correct, your LED bulbs need to be listed as dimmable also.

I installed this using a LED lightbulb. It does dim but when you press the dimmer switch to turn off, it doesn't turn off completely. These same light bulbs are advertised as dimmable and work well with other dimmers (some specifically for LED light bulbs). However, this dimmer seems not to be completely compatible.

I don't know because it was never my intention to dim them. However all incandescent bulbs will work on a dimmer switch but at 7 watts I don't know how much control you would have. BTW this is a very nice product.

Yes it will. Any light fixture will work with a dimmer, it's the bulb that matters. Some bulbs you can't use with dimmers. Some of the LED bulbs use different dimmers than incandescent bulbs, just ask the person in the store what kind you need for the bulb you have.

I got a slightly different model TBL03, but it looks the same. I use it for three lamps via a triple plug connected to the dimmer. It works well with LED lights so far. Mine is rated for max 300 W incandescent or 150 W LED/CFL. My LED bulbs are 9 W each, so x3 is only 27W total.

I am using the bulbs, but not in a dimming application. I do know (from previous experience), that you should use a dimmer that says it will work with LEDs.

I have it connected to incandescent lights, but I think the ability of the LED to dim is on the bulb manufacturer not the dimmer. You must look for damnable LED bulbs.

This model doesn't work with dimmers but another version does, but wattage is 60W vs 70W

The package says that it works on "dimmable LEDs/CFLs & all halogens/incandescents". I dunno about LEDs/CFLs/halogens but it will do regular old 60 to 250 watt bulbs no problem, which keeps your old bulbs working longer so don't need to buy those new spendy ones.

According to Lutron's spec sheet it is not an LV dimmer: http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/369613a.pdfI'd recommend calling their customer service - they are pretty good at helping you pick the right item for your application.Additionally, the company providing your lighting may have recommendations on specific models or types of dimmers they recommend or have tested. The folks I bought my LED system from did have specific dimmers that they had tested with their products, and which work great.

I have several LED type bulbs in my house, and the only ones I can get this to work with are the CREE Daylight White 40 watt equivalent (6 watt) the others I have are either not rated for DIMMER use or when in the "Off" setting the 60 watt or 100 watt version of the CREE bulbs stay on dimly.

Not according to my electrician, at least not with the LED fixtures that I purchased to use with these switches. I had to use 'conventional' dimmer switches, which worked fine.

Yes. I recommend that you use a dimmer that is designed to dim LED's. They can be easily found at a home improvement store.

Some LEDs are not dim-able. Some can be affected by heat such as might build up in a recessed location. Other than that I have no idea. OK, just checked the spec on the switch and this statement is there: "Compatible With 120V, 600 Watt Incandescent Fixture & Load Only (DOES NOT WORK LED LOAD / FIXTURE)". I think this may be your problem.

If the LEDs are dimable and total load draws more then 10 watts. (my ceiling fan with 3 LED bulbs dims but the one with only 1 light does not) *Guessing on the load wattage

Are you using this for LED tape light? The dimmer is rated for 12 volts. If you hook it up to a power source with a voltage greater than 12 volts the switch may work for awhile, but will eventually get fried.

It does NOT have a dimmer function. However, it works flawlessly with one or two LED bulbs. I have both configurations.

I have the same problem. I've connected a 12 v power supply to an LED strip and the dimmer worked for a couple of days, but now it's always on full.
