Has anyone used this dimmer with dimmable CFL or LED lights bulbs?

I wouldn't use this with a light. It's designed for a fan and only has three set levels. Plus this thing is way more expensive then a normal zwave light dimmer.

You can find the Vizia Light switch here: Leviton VRI06-1LZ Vizia RF + 600W Incandescent Scene Capable Dimmer, White/Ivory/Light AlmondAlthough, they weren't designed for L.E.D. applications I'm using several with both Recessed L.E.D. lights and L.E.D. bulbs and they work fine.

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

Yes, Mine is on a dimmer switch and is working fine. I use regular light bulbs, not the cfls.

FROM AEON's WEBSITE:For the control of LED lights with a trailing edge, Z-Wave dimming products are not suitable.From Liton's Site - Most CFL and LED dimmers are trailing edge type dimmers. Standard Dimmers are Leading Edge type dimmers.Therefore the answer seems to be NO, this will NOT work with dimmable LED bulbs. Using a standard dimmer with dimmable LED's will cause them to burn out very quickly. I burned out 3 of 5 in a chandelier this way.

This controller ONLY works with dimmable bulbs. It does not work with non-dimmable CFL bulbs. It works great with the Cree dimmable LED bulbs sold at Home Depot.

I put mine on a standard dimmer and it works fine. I've had it installed for a couple of years now, and have had no problems. Haven't even changed a bulb yet.

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.

Not certain about LEDs, although I see to reason why not. I does nothing to the [house] current applied to it except turn it on and off. The device definitely does work just fine with CFL lighting, and that tends to be rather finicky about applied voltage, etc., unless you pay the extra $$$ for dimmable CFL lights.

It also didn't work with an LED bulb I tried. All it did was Dim the bulb. The bulb I tried was not dimmable. Wondering if a Dimmable LED bulb would work. I tried 3 different brands of CFLs and one of them did work without flickering. The CFL bulb that worked was a 7 watt Greenlite which I received from my electric company.

Most photocell and many remote switched outlets actually do NOT work with LED or CFL. Has anyone actually used this with LED lights personally?

The Cree 18-watt bulb does work with a dimmer. I am using it with this one: Lutron TTCL-100H-WH Credenza Dimmable CFL/LED Dimmer, White

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).

This dimmer is designed for incandescent / halogen lights. Also, CFLs are normally not dimmable, but even if you got dimmable CFLs or LEDs they may not work with this switch (of the two, LEDs are more likely to work, but they may also flicker, hum, and you may not get the full dimming range). Unfortunately, they don't have a model for dimmable CFLs or LEDs yet. Your best bet is to stick with incandescent / halogen lights on fans if you want them dimmable without any issues.

It says on the side of the box "not for use with dimmers". However, I bought these a couple years ago, perhaps things have changed... I would see what you can find in LED rather than CFL. You will be happier, I think.

I installed this using a LED lightbulb. It does dim but when you press the dimmer switch to turn off, it doesn't turn off completely. These same light bulbs are advertised as dimmable and work well with other dimmers (some specifically for LED light bulbs). However, this dimmer seems not to be completely compatible.

I have reg. bulbs with a dimmer on my lamp. My electrician said I would need a different dimmer switch to use with LED bulbs.
