Are halogen bulbs considered "incandescent" for the purposes described here, such that they will work with this switch?

Yes, as long it not over 600 watts in total. Also, it's don't have a dimmer build in. But, it work goods as a normal three ways. The only things I have small problem is the switch behind a brick wall taken longer to respond and have to flip it again slower. Hope this helps.

You can double-check on line of course, but since a halogen bulb has a filament I'd call it an incandescent bulb and wouldn'tbe deterred from using the unit as long as the wattage is OK.

Yes this is designed for incandescent lights & halogen lights are a high efficiency incandescent light. Will not work properly with CFL but may work with LED depending on the particular bulb.

I am currently using it for a set of 3 25W halogen bulbs. I'm not sure where the low voltage part comes into play, unless it's referring to the switch. Low voltage is usually 24V or less, and this plugs into a standard 120V outlet and looks just like a basic 2 prong indoor extension cord. So the short answer is: yes, it should work for your application.

Most LED bulbs don't work with dimmer switches, even if they are matched. The technology isn't up to speed with them. You're better off getting halogen bulbs. I have 6 bulbs that don't work properly.

Yes, it suggests using LED, but we are using the older type incandescent bulb.

It will work, the lights will not dim as low as the halogen bulbs. Once they get so low they shut off. I do like the lights and feel they work great, I use them in my movie room and am pleased.

Yes. LED GU-10 bulbs have the same form factor as incandescent bulbs. I have four of these in my entertainment room with LED bulbs and they work great.

If these were 12 V halogen bulbs, yes. Please make sure of that otherwise your LED lights will be destroyed.

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

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

This switch most certainly DOES work for incandescent bulbs. I know this, because it is currently (get it?) working in my incandescent lamp. If your original dimmer was 500W 120V 60H this will work. I'm not an electrical engineer, but I can't think of a single way the switch would know what type of bulb it is outputting power to, which is why I used it, and I couldn't be happier.

Yes, as long as the base of the bulb is the same as for incandescent bulbs.

According to the listing at Home Depot, these switches are NOT CFL/LED compatible.

Yes but you will need the proper dimmer for whichever type of bulb you wish to use incandescent cfl or fluorescent amazon also will have the proper dimmer

Don't know, all I bought still work fine. I think led light have indefinite longevity in the bulb life. I'm sure the switch will go before the bulb burns out. Had mine for a couple of years it seems and still work fine.

I think that question has more to do with the switch/bulb. These are hard-wired.

It does not work with incandescent bulbs. It is an OEM replacement for certain lamps.
