Is this safe to use with CREE or LED bulbs?

I think it would be safe. I don't have a Cree bulb. Do you think the outer glass is thinner or different on a Cree 60 watt bulb than on an incandescent 60 watt bulb? Since the Cree bulbs are made in the USA I suggest you call them to get an answer to your question and to put your mind at ease.

Yes it is, but beware, 50% of the Cree Bulbs ( 8 ) lasted no longer than 6 months.

I use mine with 3 LED bulbs that are labeled ok for dimming and the Lighten UP 308 works perfectly with them.

These apear to be SMD not CREE. I know CREE is a better LED but in this aplication the CREE is realy not needed. I am very happy with these and have started to replace all the bulbs in my RV with them.

It depends on the LED, but I have four of them installed and all are dimming Cree LED bulbs fine.

I purchased Cree LED light bulbs at Home Depot which seemed to solve the problem. Apparently these bulbs are more efficient (lumens per watt), which implies to me less heat is being generated. These bulbs are also cast a more diffused light that other LED bulbs. Note that LED can lights are designed for the can enclosure, which is not true for LED light bulbs. Someone mentioned dimmers not working. I have found out that the dimmer needs to specify that it will work with LED lights to work properly.

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.

The spec sheet shows it works with "all types of lighting" so I'd say yes to LEDs. I use it on CFLs with no problem. Follow the link in the product listing to the user's manual for more details.

No it does not work with LED bulbs. I have one LED and one incandescent on the same fixture - this is the only way I got this to work

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure it was ok for my Surefire LED lights. Thanks again!

I use a 23 watt CFL in my fixture with no problem. The limitation of the fixture is wattage so CFL and LED lights are ok if they will fit inside the globe.

Yes, it will work with LED bulbs. I have three swtches that are presently working with LED.

I didn't use it with Cree.What I use with this dimmer is a dimmable A19 LED light from Triangle Bulbs and it's working well for me for 2 years now. I like the light output because it's beautiful. It's also durable. Triangle Bulbs T95123-6 (6pack) - LED Dimmable 60 Watt Equivalent Daylight A19 Light Bulbs, 6 pack

I am having no problems with my led bulbs. I have been told that some of the less expensive dimmers don't work with led bulbs.

No, use at your own risk. I used these to put LED in California CFL fixtures. Very low wattage.
