Can the switch be used with LED dimmable bulbs?

Does not work with "Brite Innovations Energy Saving 6-Watt LED Filament Candelabra Light Bulb - Dimmable - Soft White 2700K - Flame Tip - Exact Equivalent to Standard 60W Incandescent Chandelier Bulb" unless an incandescent bulb is in the loop.

I am using LED bulbs and am dimming them with the switch. So far, no problems and is working fine...make sure the bulbs state they are, in fact, dimmable.

Be very aware of your light bulb type before purchasing. I cannot say if it will do what you want. We use CFL (compact florescent) bulbs and those will not work at all with this switch. As another answer said, the LED bulbs might, but unless the description has changed nothing is mentioned online even about CFL bulbs, though it does appear in the very tiny print on the packaging once you receive it. Good luck though.

I believe it will the tolerance on the switch is pretty wide, and the poles are clearly marked. It will depend on your LEDs to determine if they are dimable.

Yes you can, i have been all of my CFL bulbs with LED on both my dimmer switches and Relay Switches. That said some LED work better then others. i would not recommend Philips,as they tend to flicker on low dim and take a second to turn on. i use CREE bulbs and get them at home depot and the pricing has come down a great deal. some of the other tested by Insteon are Cree, Ecosmart, Sylvania, Feit Electric, GE, Great Value, Unitech. you can call them directly to see if there are any further updates. Hope that helps

Yes, assuming you use lamps which are dimmable. some LED's and CFL's are not dimmable. Check the package.

Julia P., this switch should work with any lights that are on the circuit. I did not have LED light bulbs attached, but this switch simply turns an existing circuit on and off. So whatever you had attached to the circuit before will work the same. Hope that helps.

Not necessarily. I used this with 4 LED spotlight bulbs that I found on eBay for a few bucks a piece.The switch did not know how to handle the bulbs. The scenes wouldnt work. I was able to schedule the bulbs to turn on, but not turn off.I called SmartHome and they said LEDs are not compatible with this switch unless, of course, they are Insteon LED bulbs

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.

Short answer: Yes.Long answer: LED bulbs can be used whereever incandescents can be used, including with dimming. It's CFLs you have to worry about. (CFLs do work in this fixture, by the way)

I don't think it's meant to be used with a dimmer switch. I tried it with a dimmer switch, but a lot of the bulbs burned out within a month. I would definitely not recommend trying this light with a dimmer switch. I've since put it on a simple on/off switch and I've only had 1 bulb burn out within a year.

I have this connected to incandescent pot lights. When you push the on switch there is a slight pause from when the light comes on to when the light is fully bright. Because of that, I would use them with dimmable LEDs. Leviton's own documentation warns that using incandescent DIMMER switches with LED bulbs may result in inconsistent performance, and that they are not UL safety rated for use with LED bulbs. But this isn't really a dimmer switch, it's either on or off. Most of what I have read regarding using standard wall switches (incandescent) for LED bulbs only talk about performance loss at low power, not about safety issues. To be safe, though, I would ask an electrician, or consult the manufacturer's (lighting fixture) documentation.

I'm not sure. I know you can't use it with a dimmer switch. I'd check with Philips.

Yes. I used this bulb to replace a halogen g9 bulb. I've had it for a few weeks now. So far, it's worked quite well. Though, I don't know how well it will work with a dimmer switch. Not all LED bulbs are dimmable, and I haven't tried using this one with a dimmer. If your light is not on a dimmer switch, that should not be a problem.

I think you can, i use it in a Lumatek Dimmable Ballast and it works fine, but i won't recommend to use it in less than 100%, it would consume the same power and will short the lifespan of the bulb.

Yes, but the compact bulbs used, need to be labeled "dimmable" or compatible with dimmers.

Yes it should, as long as the bulb is dimmable and I believe there is a wattage minimum for the switch to work. So you may need multiple LEDs tied into the switch. Like how a bathroom light has multiple bulbs. (Not sure what the minimum wattage per switch is, I've read it somewhere but haven't ran into that problem as I only use halogen bulbs so far).

Yes it will work with any dimmer switch. But for the same price as most dimmer switches you can get the Levittown 6674-pow universal led and cfl and incandescent from Amazon. It is a truly superior dimmer switch. For many reasons including that you can set a minimum light level so you know whether you lights are on or off. It has both a slide control and a on/off switch.
