Is the light portion of the switch compatable with CFL/LED to reduce buzzing?

Chances are it will NOT reduce any buzzing or humming sound. These are generally used for incandescent lamps.

Yes, I'm using it with a CFL right now. I would assume it would be fine with an LED as well.

I don't think this is currently possible. I suspect it may be part of the fan controls if it is a problem even with non cfl bulbs

I can't hear any buzzing from my CFLs. But that might be just my hearing. I see that another answer talked about the lights failing quickly. While I have not had that problem another customer did. The bulbs come with a support phone number and are distributed by Home Depot.

I just put the normal 60 Watt bulbs in mine. 3 levels of brightness and no buzzing noises on any of those levels.

To my knowledge, I don't think so.There are cfl bulbs that are specifically designed for dimmer operation.

Yes if you're using incandescent bulbs but CFL's have a tendency to flicker or not work with reduced power source. All the dimmer does is reduce the power to whatever is attached.

All of these mini florescent bulbs have small ballasts in the base that control the lighting. They can and often do make a buzzing noise. I have 20 of the 45W lamps and only a few buzz slightly after warming up. I usually have music on when I use them, so it's not noticable for me. If the buzzing is really loud to you, then you might have received a defective batch, in which case I would contact the manufacturer.

I don't think it is. I am using it for halogen recessed lights. They work well. There is 1 issue though. Since it uses RF it needs to be setup in line of sight or else the remote doesn't work. Also if you get the control for a fan as well, the remote will control both. Other than that the unit works great.

Yes. You can wire this so that the fan and the light are operated by separate switches.

We hooked ours up with separate switches - one for the light and one for the fan as most of the time, we don't use both. So sorry, I don't know the answer to this question.

Yes, we use CFL's in both of ours. We just have to click the switch twice, instead of once, to turn on the lamp. We really like the lamps.

yes it should work well especially is the bulbs are standard bulbs. The only small issue I have found Is when using on a CFL bulb when you turn the switch completely off the light will still occasionally flicker at a very low light. It is not a huge issue. When using standard bulbs this is not a problem.

It does buzz ever so slightly. It actually sounds like power transistors oscillating (like high frequency switching). Anyway, it makes it dependent on the load. The cleaner the item being switched, the less noise. I had a lamp w/ a bad bulb, and it made more more noise than when I switched to a different bulb. Honestly, I really don't notice it unless I'm really looking. It's a great switch.

I do not have any idea...but I have experienced the same phenomenon with two 23W LED bulbs. It has happened twice and is intermittent. Both times, adjusting the brightness slightly either up or down stopped the flicker and buzzing. This has never happened on switches that control one bulb one bulb.

The lights buzz when they are at a medium level of light. I don't think this is uncommon with LEDs. The buzzing is virtually gone when it is on full power, and very faint when using at the lowest setting (we use it for a night light). I am using the lutron DIVA dimmer the package says it works with.

Yes and no, respectively. Use non-LED is the only solution. I tried another LED fixture, different manufacturer, same issue. I'm going back to incandescent.
