does it work for CF and LED bulbs

It will work with anything you plug into it, it's basically an extension cord with an auto on and off in my experience.

It is just a timer. Whatever you can plug into a power outlet you can plug into this and it will power it according to settings you chose on the dial.

Most photocell and many remote switched outlets actually do NOT work with LED or CFL. Has anyone actually used this with LED lights personally?

I do not understand the validity of the inquiry. the Timer provides a source of intermittent current ...what does the bulb have to do with the process?

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.

It should have no problems with CFL or LED bulbs, it does not alter the electrical current going through it. I use it for my home theater projector (connected as if it was the fan).

both cfl and led bulb have build in ballst I have not try the led bulb because the price it is rip off. but cfl bulb work perfact

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. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008X3CHM0/ref=pe_385040_30332200_pe_309540_26725410_item DaveH46 is correct, your LED bulbs need to be listed as dimmable also.

Yes, CFL works, but I don't like the "warm up" time it takes them to hit their stated lumen output. The unit clearly states the maximum watts the unit can handle - which is pretty high.Like a previous responder, I switched over to led's. More expensive, of course.

As far as CFC i don't know but I installed an LED and it works great. You can set the light to work with the sensor or cut off at daylight. Mine works great, very sensitive which is what I wanted. Yo can adjust the sensitivity also.

It takes most standard incandescent bulbs except for the ones that have multiple brightness settings. It does not work with the compact fluorescent bulbs even though they fit in the socket.

This switch is NOT recommended for CFL/LEDs. I have tested with both and experienced early failures (including a failure of the electronics on one of the switches.) It's a shame because it's a great switch with the IR feature, and Lutron does have an entire line of CFL/LED certified switches, they've just failed to update this product to the 21st Century.

Yes, it does support CFL bulbs. I have 3 switches in my house, one of them controls 5 CFL bulbs.

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.

I am currently using it on a circuit with 2 - 60 watt fluorescent bulbs and 1 - 75 incandescent bulb and it works fine. If it get time, I will try to remove the incandescent to test it with only fluorescent.

It works with incandescents and LEDs. It will also work perfectly with fluorescent bulbs if they are "dimable" bulbs. If you try to dim any non-dimable fluorescent, they tend to flicker a lot. (Please note that some LED bulbs will flicker a tiny amount at very dimmed settings.) Overall I am very happy with this dimmer. It installed very easily and functions perfectly.

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.

I don't know for sure, but it works fine for CFL/long-life bulbs. It works for any bulb that fits a standard light-bulb fitting and is for 120 volt systems. It doesn't have a circuit to change volts, so if the LED bulb takes 120V, I am sure it will work.

Yes. The CFL bulb will fit. That is the type I use and it works quite well.

yes it should work well especially is the bulbs are standard bulbs. The only small issue I have found Is when using on a CFL bulb when you turn the switch completely off the light will still occasionally flicker at a very low light. It is not a huge issue. When using standard bulbs this is not a problem.
