Can these bulbs be used with electronic timers (e.g., X10)? I think the problem is related to the quick on-off-on override feature of the timer.

I can't specifically answer the question on the Cree bulb; however, I do have another 75-watt, LED bulb, similar to the Cree, connected to a Leviton in-wall timer & switch and that works just fine.

Some electronic timers require an intact incandescent lamp filament before the timer will operate. If you have one of these, it may not operate correctly with this LED bulb.

I am using them with X10 and they work perfect. Turn on, off and dim with no problems or humming.

Through research, I found out they do not work with CFL or LED Bulbs. I ended up going with Maestro by Lutron MS-OPS2-WH and they work GREAT! Toughr.

I think that is no problem. I used with motion sensor it works perfectly. this is just extension that is not effect to switch nor light bulb functional.

Works with Incandescent and halogen lighting http://www.honeywellstore.com/store/products/honeywell-econoswitch-programmable-light-switch-timer-almond.htm

They say you're not suppose to use either dimmers or timers on them. I use a timer and it works fine. I think the reason they say not to use dimmers is that the ballast in the base needs a full charge to activate. I beleive that I have seen that there are some CFL's that can use dimmers, but this particular brand does'nt recomend it.

I cannot be certain but I would believe it will work providing the wattage is within their specs...however if the lighting is flourescent I would be less sure. I have used them on LED lights and halogen bulbs without any associated problems. (I have had some irratic times where the remote function may not work reliably for some times)

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?

I had it working with cfl (3x15w + 2x20w). I can't say if that was the cause of the malfunction it had, but mine worked properly for about 2 weeks (on/off daily), and then the chip seemed to go bezerk, as it started to randomly turn on and off (within seconds). From what I have read, cfl's tend to store some energy and release it through their own little transformer (hence hours after you turn a cfl light off, it might give out a small flash). Instead of this one, I recommend the intermatic automatic switch (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005H3AXKM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), have had it now for a few months, and works well. Has the same functions (except the astronomical clock adjustment), plus the timer system is not connected to the electric grid, thus any outages will not fry the timer circuit. It must have a small switch within, as when it turns off/on you can hear a slight mechanical 'click'. Hope it helps.

They worked with T10 base LED lamps used for landscape lighting. I did not try any other bulbs.

Yes, it works with LED bulbs. I am an Electrical Contractor and these are the best timers I have ever used. I have never had a "call back" on these timers. Great product.

My light stays on most of the time... I haven't tried it on a timer though. I don't see why it wouldn't work with a timer.

probably not, because the remote just triggers the self timer through the infrared interface. You can't hold down the release , that would be required in bulb, then release after the desired exposure.

I presume you are referring to energy saving bulbs, I guerss you can if you can get the correct cap. You should however use Rough Service RS bulbs which allow for frequent switching on and off and temperature fluctuations. See no value in using Compact Fluorescent bulbs.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. The bulb is just a bulb. For the motion-sensing, that depends on the fixture. The fixture tells the bulb to turn off/on. So, with a timer, it would be the same. The fixture would te the bulb to turn off/on.

No. This type of bulb have an internal programing timer. It can only be controlled by a regular electrical wall switch.

I have 2 of these bulbs and they both work well, but I did figure out that they need to be in a single on off type socket{not a 3 way lamp socket}I hope this helps you.

I have seen a comment that said : "I had a problem with my CFL light('s) flickering so I tried putting LED bulb in and it worked fine since" My opinion on this comment -> the CFL bulb either was too low a wattage and/or not dimmable; If you do try using a LED bulb I strongly suggest you make sure it IS a DIMABLE LED ,Even though this device will not dim the bulb this is important so as not to damage your LED unit and thus possibly damaging timer unit as well.
