Does this dimmer work with LED bulbs?

Yes, this dimmer, and in fact all dimmers, will work with dimmable LED lights. It just won't work well. There are a number of drawbacks to using a standard dimmer with LED lights, including the light not getting as dim as it could and not lighting-up if the dimmer is set too low. I don't *think* it has any effect on the lifetime of the led bulb. If you want to control dimmable LED lights (and dimmable CFLs) then you need a HID dimmer to rectify the shortcomings of a standard dimmer. I personally have only standard dimmers in my now totally LED lit home, but I will slowly be swapping out the old dimmers for new HIDs.

I have Lutron dimmer and this bulb doesn't work with it. I used Philips instead

I am using the bulbs, but not in a dimming application. I do know (from previous experience), that you should use a dimmer that says it will work with LEDs.

yes on the dimmer,have not tried led bulbs. Not a true fish-eye socket, but on flat ceiling can be adjusted to angle or spot. Good for the price

There are LED bulbs that will work with standard dimming switches. As there is no specific claim that this switch can control LED light levels, I would search for the LED bulbs that claim they can be controlled with a standard dimmer. There is a great write up from CNET on the 5 things you should know about LED lighting. I hope this helped.

YES THIS WORKS WITH LED LIGHTS.....but the LED must say DIMMABLE on the packaging. I am using one as I write. It is Soft-White (and looks like an incandescent) 150 Watt equivalent-2200 lumens by FEIT Electric. In my area MENARDS carries these at various wattage equivalents!!!

I have never tried these with a dimmer but I do know that LEDs don't work with Dimmers

Yes, and as far as I know just about every lighting fixture is dimmable with the right type of bulb and the right type of dimmer switch for the bulb that you have. I know these work with incandescent, CFL and LED dimmable bulbs (with a dimmer switch designed to control all three types).

I don't think so. I have the bulb and package in my hand and it doesn't reference dimming. Ever LED bulb that's dimmable seems to promote that feature.

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.

I've got it controlling 2 fixtures, each with 2 LED bulbs (small ones, like oversized night light bulbs) and it works perfectly. No dimmer function for any kind of bulb... just on and off.

It doesn't work with dimmers but it's easy to look for replacement bulbs. I purchased mine here (I swear it works really great; bright and durable): Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

I have not used bulb with dimmer, but I am almost certain this incandescent bulb will work with a standard incandescent dimmer. Worth trying.

It most likely won't dim LED bulbs as its for incandescent bulbs. If the LED bulb is dimmable you should try a lutron C.L dimmer, which is made for LEDs.

I use the dimmers with LED lights, but according to the manufacturer, they're supposed to work with CFLs as well.

It works fine with LEDs. LEDs do not need special dimmers. This will not dim LEDs down to 10% though. It will dim to about 30%

Yes, it will work with LED bulbs. I have three swtches that are presently working with LED.
