Timer states it works with incandescent or CFL. How about LED? Has anyone actually used timer with LED incandescent replacement bulb in a table lamp?

Yes, I have this timer hooked up to my LED fish tank light so it should work just fine with your LED replacement bulb.

I use the timer with some Phillips HUE bulbs in table lamps. Seems to work fine.

I don't know about LED lights, but I use mine with CFL lights and they work great!!!!!!!! Have several timers in place and it sure makes life easier!!!!!!!!!!!

No this does not work well with CFL, only incandescent lamps. Tried it once, when I first received the unit, it flickers continuously, meaning, not compatible. Hope this helps!

Yes, the timer uses a relay (like a mechanical switch) to control the light.. any light type.I use mine with a regular CFL.

I have a slightly older model of this motion sensor, the PIR720. I installed six of these with the Switch 75 LED bulb and so far they've been working fine for a few weeks. I did contact the seller to ask if the product is compatible with LEDs and got a useless non-answer--essentially they said the product works with incandescent and CFLs but didn't specifically say it DOESN'T work with LEDs. In my experience, so far, with the Switch, it does work. However, I'm not sure if it will reduce the lifetime of the Switch and given the cost of it that would be an issue...

I was being driven mad by my lights flickering. I used fluorescent bulbs. Apparently, that's a no-no, per the company website. http://www.intermatic.com/en/Products/Timers/InWallTimers/Electronic_Timers/EJ500.aspx It specifically says "Controls incandescent lighting." Lesson learned.

I've been using mine with a really low wattage LED porch light for about 2 years now. The bulb and the timer have been working fine all of this time.

I haven't used it in conjunction with a timer but it does work with a dusl til dawn sensor so I would assume that it would work with a timer as well as long as the fixture is compatible with the bulb itself.

This remote definitely works as an on/off remote control for any bulb. The question remains if the dimmer portion would work with the CFL. I've had issues with LED bulbs not working but CFL bulbs are different than either LED or incandescent. I would check with the manufacturer's package info for restrictions.

The only one that I've tried is the Lutron Credenza lamp dimmer - the LED/CFL compatible version, part number TTCL-100BH-WH or -BL - and it works well, although the light does not noticeably change color when you dim unlike an incandescent, and also the lowest setting before the lamp shuts off is somewhat bright, maybe 10% or so of maximum brightness. But it dims smoothly and without noticeable noise. It's actually refreshing compared to "dimmable" CFLs. I have not tried these bulbs with any other dimmers however.

Yes, the programmable timer works well with candelabra bulbs. It also works with my front porch spiral CFL (2 @ 26W each) bulbs. I purchased two of them (the other one for my kitchen) and have been using them on a daily base for some time now with absolutely no problem.

Yes, this sensor will work with LED, CFL, and fluorescent bulbs because it uses a built-in mechanical relay to turn on the bulb. The relay makes it act like a regular switch as far as the bulb is concerned.

You will need to check if the wires are interchanged. Mine was same. if not get an electrician. This timer works perfect For CFL and led bulbs.

I looked at the .pdf manual. It says "Incandescent" at the top of the page, so it will not work well with LEDs. As someone said, that's why the low price.

I don't use it with CFLs. But this switch, unlike most other timer switches, users the power and neutral wire to power itself. It does not need to bleed current through the controlled load to power itself. So I am 99% sure it would work fine with any load, including a array of CFL's. Since the previous answer confirm this based on actual experience, I think you can be very confident that it will work for you.

I disagree with Minite who says that it works "great" with a dimmable LED bulb. I'm using Philips LED bulbs, and it makes the bulbs buzz noticeably. Not badly enough that I will return it, and the packaging states quite clearly that it is not meant for CFLs or LEDs, but still a bit disappointing that a dimmer made in 2015 doesn't work well with LEDs.
