On a timer it will be fine, but I've noticed that the led's actually operate even when the switches are off at low level. Is that normal?

Your timer may not be shutting off all power to the device. I would use a test light and check for current.

No, it isn't....I don't think there is anything in the LED that could hold a residual charge, so I would suspect the timer isn't completely disrupting the current. Just make sure (in a dark room) that they are actually illuminating while "off" and not just reflecting some other light source. The eyes can play tricks on us...:)

Don't think so, I have mine on a timer 12 on 12 off. LEDs appear to be still semi on after timer goes off ,but turn completely off after 10 seconds or so. Might wanna take a closer look at your timer. Hope I helped :)

I'm using is on a bank of dimmable LED's and it is working fine (humms a bit though while dimmed).

I haven't had any problem. My husband thought it wasn't working after the electricity went out but we notice when the time flashes on the screen the system isn't turned on, it should be a steady light even if the time is wrong. Is the light on the on/off knob red? If its red its on stand by. Great sound from this sytstem, we like it.

Haven't hooked mine up yet, but why would you want to not use the LED? They use next to no power, and they're only lit when the circuit is energized, anyway. Get a switch with no light, there are plenty of those around.

I have 4 lights total and 2 have always worked perfectly, 1 has never worked and the 4th only ever "glowed" until last night, when I pulled it apart again, flipped switches and reinstalled batteries. Magically it seems perfect now. So, I'd suggest playing with it a bit.

Well what you should be measuring is the current.... not the voltage. Yes it is working correctly. the current jump which is the main effect on your LED's at least is between those voltages

I agree with Dave. As long as you aren't trying to dim the LED. The receiver is just a remote switch and is not affected by the load unless it is greater than that specified by the receiver.

Nobody responded in the last week so I'll provide an update myself (Boomer). I purchased the cheapest lighted keyboard I could find (not the Saitek) to test it with my KVM switch. Bottom line: everything works great. I thought if the light caused the switch not to operate properly, I could just turn the light off when activating the switch. In fact, that wasn't necessary (at least for the keyboard I purchased).

Yes, that's correct. I think the amount of time that it stays off is programmable. This is quite a nice switch although I haven't figured out how to "train" it to only come on when it's dark. I haven't really taken the time to work with it. The support folks are very helpful and friendly.

Definetly not normal, but the led is not generating its own power. Saying that if the light never stops blinking it likely an issue with the switch that turns on and off the powerto the fixture.if it does stop, it could still be the switch, at that point I would swap one that doesn't blink with the on that does. If the blinker moves its the fixture, if not its your AC switch or other wiring issue.

It does work with LED bulbs but I am having a problem where my LED security lights (from Costco) keep burning out somehow in less than a month of use. I don't know yet if it's related to the switch or the security lights are just sub par but I didn't have this problem until I replaced my normal light switch with this timer switch. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe not.

I am not having that problem with mine it has not blown any circuits, it is plugged into a timer and then into a wall outlet. However mine does flicker and dim on occasion and I am not sure why. I check the connections and it seems fine then one day it is bright again.

Strange...mine are completely off when the switch is off. There must be a small bit of power running through that circuit that the bulb is reacting to but I'm certainly no electrician!

I just posted a photo showing the switch in the off position. The photo came out sideways, but you'll see the little green dots lit up to the point where the brightness had been set just before you turned the switch off.

LED's can be dimmed, and these should be able to be dimmed... but in my application they are either full power or off.

Yes and no. Limited levels of dimming at low levels. At a certain point they just shut off. It's decent though. Though if you have any halogen bulbs in the track, they will be much dimmer at the same level.

Mine is still working well. But you can check if the batteries are in good shape or try to remove and replace the leds and batteries. I hope that helps.
