Can anyone confirm that this works with a CFL bulb? I would like to get this for a pole lamp with a CFL bulb and want to see if this would work.THANKS

Yes, I have 10 cfl's hooked up on one of these. It also works with the 3 individual exterior wall lights with LED's bulbs. It doesn't matter what bulb you use as long as the voltage is the same.

I installed similar sensors for my back door lights that use cfl bulbs that work. So I would assume it should work with this sensor.

That is a great question. I am not sure, mine needs to be replaced and I was hoping to be able to use a CFL too.

Yes. I have used both the 60 and 100 watt version of a CFL since I first bought this product.

Yes it will work very well with both LED and CFL lights.......I've had both but currently using LEDs.

I have not tried on CFL's only in use on chandelier lights with 25-60W candelabra standard bulbs.

I bought this dimmer for a neighbor and installed it in his halogen light fixture. That was one year ago and the dimmer still works beautifully. As for CFL's, I wouldn't think it would work, simply because CFL's work differently than Incandescent bulbs. CFL's require a ballast to kick-start the bulb. " A CFL's ballast helps "kick start" the CFL and then regulates the current once the electricity starts flowing.'

It doesn't work on my CFL. I either need to find a CFl that fits these or return them.

I use my delay switch for the fan function of my exhaust/light in my bathroom. HOWEVER, I cannot think of any reason why the delay switch would NOT work on CFL or LED bulbs. David.

This works just like any other CFL bulb.Screw it in, plug it in, and turn it on.My advise to you is to try another bulb that you know works in the fixture and if it works then try the CFL again. If the CFL does not work my guess is that it was damaged in shipping or the bulb you received may just be defective. It happens. Amazon is really good about standing behind what they ship. If that bulb is bad I am sure they will quickly send you a replacement bulb.I hope my response was helpful.Good luck

I'm going to say I don't know because I couldn't find CFL bulbs to fit. This uses a short bulb which are provided with the lamp. I wanted something frosted, so I purchased regular bulbs.

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

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, I'm using it with a CFL right now. I would assume it would be fine with an LED as well.

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 did use one of those elongated lightbulbs, about 5 inches long and 1.5 inches wide, because I did not like how the CFL looked. It was too bright. It works fine.....I wish the damned slider pole could be tightened, however!

I'm sure you can use a 13 watt CFL bulb in this lamp (60 watt standard bulb equivalent). I have a 20 watt CFL (75 watt standard bulb equivalent) in mine and have had no issues. Have to turn switch 2 times to turn on since this is a 3 way 150 watt lamp, but that doesn't bother me any.

This model is only supposed to work with incandescent bulbs. Mine worked fine for two years with two 14W CFLs but then stopped turning the lights on. Do not buy this model is you plan on using it with CFL or LED, buy the ST01 instead.

Yes it will work on CFL and I use two 7 watts candelabra lightbulbs. The 40 watt load doesn't seem to come in play. The great part about the switch, it keeps the time and does not need to be reset if the electricity goes out.

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.
