Does this wall remote switch work with LED bulbs, and does it kill/turn off the bulb with one press or do you have to hold the buttom to dim it off

Yes it works with LED. One press turns light on/off. Press and hold dims the light.

It should work with dimmable led bulbs since any dimmer switch works by reducing the voltage to the bulb reguardless of the type of bulb. You can turn off the bulb with a press of the button but dimming the bulb requires you to hold the button in.

You can disable dimming with a switch in the base unit which my older version (with the same model number) did not have.

I hard wired mine to a regular on/off switch. Not sure how it would work with a wall dimmer since LEDs need their driver to be dimmable. There is a bit of lag time when turning them on. You still need to use their little ac to dc converter. Just snip off the plug and connect to your hard wires.

I cannot speak for LED's but I use dimmable CFL's in my fan. The remote does not operate like a typical dimmer with a high and low end. It oscillates from high to low as you hold down the on / off button. When I switched to the CFL's I found that they did not dim as low as when I was using regular incandescent bulbs. Now, when I want the lights to dim further, it bottoms out and begins to go brighter. I was able to get incandescent bulbs to dim more. Other than that, they work ok. The lack of dimming was not a big deal. I stayed with the CFL's since incandescent bulbs are being phased out. I cannot speak for LED's but I use dimmable CFL's in my fan.

In the end, it's jus a light socket, and wouldn't care about the dimmer switch. It's the bulb you screw in that might care. Som compact flourescent bulbs are not dimmable, and some LED bulbs sound like the have "compatible" dimmer switches, but I have not dealt with those.

I am not sure but the wise thing to do is buy the remote switch without the dimmer capability. I'm sorry but I still use them on spot bulbs. But it shouldn't work with LED. My advise is to get the on/off remote switch to be on the safe side.

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.

I bought one at HomeDepot today and it does dim my dimmable LEDs which I recently purchased from Costco. No issue at all. In fact most of my old 1980s dimmers work fine for these bulbs. I guess you just need bulbs that say dimmable. They dim to a very low level with no flicker. The bulbs do not power off with the dim lever set to the lowest setting which I find useful. If your bulbs are dimmable save yourself 19 bucks and buy this. I bought one at HD and will buy 5 more here to save a few bucks.

Why would you want it to dim to off? With a properly set dimmer made for LED bulbs, the bulb should still be on at the lowest setting and only turn off when the switch is turned off. Try using a dimmer like the Maestro dimmer (LED compatible version) from Lutron that allows you to custom set your dimmer's range based upon the bulbs you have in use. Secondly, you shouldn't use different types of bulbs on the same switch circuit as they may dim at different levels.

Works with the wall switch. However to use the remote the wall switch needs to remain in the on position. I believe that is pretty standard.

Hi, Customer: Regarding to your question, this touch screen dimmer switch must works with dimmable led light and it will not work with traditional incandescent bulb. Here are some specification of this dimmer: Supply/Output wattage: 12V-24V Output Current: under 8A Output:1 channel

NO. I initially put in LED lights and discovered that it would not go off. The brightness is adjustable from fully on to dim. I understand that a small current continues to flow in order to keep the sensors in the wall units active. It works with filament bulbs, I believe, because the small current is low enough that the filament does not glow. The LEDs are very sensitive to this small current. I believe that the system could be wired to solve the LED problem if the circuit was redesigned.

Yes, when I cut the power with a light switch, mine turns back on using the setting I left it on last, which feature I use all the time. It is great. However, like any self-dimming system, you should not try to use this with an external dimmer. You want a dumb dimmable LED bulb for that.

Yes, you can turn it off to. I use this with Led bulbs and work's fine for me so far.

I used it with a LED for a few weeks but it did not function well. I often had to tap the lamp base multiple times to get it to turn on or change setting. It now works well with an incandescent bulb.

I have put the bulb away 'til next Christmas, but my memory is that it does not remember. It starts in a default mode every time it is turned on even if power is not removed. Others says it will remember so my memory is probably faulty. Maybe it only starts on default when you use the remote, but remembers with the wall switch. I did not experiment with the light switch dimmer. I would count on using the remote to dim.

In an earlier reply I stated that this switch does not dim LED bulbs. As it turns out I just didn't hold the button down long enough. It's not the best dimmer around, but it is reasonably acceptable.

I would guess once you program it don't have to touch it any more, I bought the ones that weren't programable. As for the bulb once it dies it dies it's led. The other ones should keep working. I've had mine for a year already with no problems.
