Does this wall remote switch work with LED bulbs, and does it kill/turn off the bulb with one press or do you have to hold the buttom to dim it off

Not 100% on the LED light, as i have a normal bulb in mine, however, in my last house i believe i had the same switch and it did work. I believe it depends on teh bulb and not the controller, some LED cannot be dimmed. The switch itself, if you just press the button quickly, the light turns on and off instantly. If you press and hold the button, then the light dims.

In an earlier reply I stated that this switch does not dim LED bulbs. As it turns out I just didn't hold the button down long enough. It's not the best dimmer around, but it is reasonably acceptable.

It works with LED bulbs. They go off with one press. Incandescent bulbs dim if you hold the button down, but LED bulbs do not dim - they stay bright.

I haven't used it with an LED bulb so I don't know about that. The light turns on and off with a single push. To dim or brighten it, you hold the button in until you get to your desired dimness or brightness.

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.

I had the same problem when I upgraded my porch light to LED. The old switch is more like a dimmer that doesn't go low enough to shut off the LED light. This one has a real switch and will definitely shut off the LED. It makes a loud click when it switches and it misses about 25% of the on or off commands which might get better with a newer controller. Still working on that part.

I called Leviton on this question. According to Leviton, this switch is not able to fully turn off LED bulbs due to the very low current required to still produce light with LED bulbs. They said this socket would cause flickering instead of turning off.

The question is how do you control the brightness of the bulbs? The remote basically, turn the power on and off. If your LED bulbs changes brightness by simply turning the switch off and back on, then you can click the remote button a few times until you get your desired brightness.

My experience with using Z-wave dimmable switches with LEDs has not been good. The simple Z-wave "on-off" switch will work just fine. I have tried using the dimmable switch with a single LED light, a chandelier with "small base" LED bulbs, a bank of 5 LED "can lights" in a ceiling. All of these applications failed and eventually, the switches themselves failed. My most recent attempt failed two weeks ago.

You should use an LED switch I purchased a Chamberlain Remote Light Switch and they work great together. Its at home depot.

In the end, it's jus a light socket, and wouldn't care about the dimmer switch. It's the bulb you screw in that might care. Som compact flourescent bulbs are not dimmable, and some LED bulbs sound like the have "compatible" dimmer switches, but I have not dealt with those.

I bought one at HomeDepot today and it does dim my dimmable LEDs which I recently purchased from Costco. No issue at all. In fact most of my old 1980s dimmers work fine for these bulbs. I guess you just need bulbs that say dimmable. They dim to a very low level with no flicker. The bulbs do not power off with the dim lever set to the lowest setting which I find useful. If your bulbs are dimmable save yourself 19 bucks and buy this. I bought one at HD and will buy 5 more here to save a few bucks.

As this is a simple on/off switch it should work with any type of bulb. There was nothing on the package that indicates that it will not work with LED bulbs.

This is just a LED light bulb. It has no memories. You can use it with a remotely controlled light switch. It simply turns on when the power is re-applied. By the way, do NOT use this bulb with a dimmer switch.

I have two bulbs maybe four feet apart. If I hit the remote from far enough away (so they are both line of sight to the remote), they both go on/off at the same time. Unless you are standing/aiming the remote so that a bulb or bulbs are not in line of sight, you SHOULD be able to power them all on or off with one button press.

It will work with led light bulbs although certain ones will not dim correctly. They will go low and then turn off instead of staying slightly dim. I use mines with normal can lights works awesome. Hope it helps.

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 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.

I suspect it's because there is only an "on/off" switch which cannot control the bulbs like a reostat on your wall switch. It's possible that your reostate can still control the dimming of the bulbs once you have your remote switch in the "on" position.

Katherine, sorry no you need to use a Lutron MIR-600THW-WH to be able to use a remote control. (Note, the -WH signifies "White" but I'm sure this switch is available in other Lutron colors.) You can program other brand home theater remotes, (Harmony remotes for example) to control this switch including full on/off, increase/decrease, or a preset scene. It is a very cool switch. This switch does not currently work with "Dimmable LED's" but does work with all incandescent bulbs.
