Does this work with CFL and LED bulbs

I think it does. I did not try them though. My timer stopped working after about 2 months of use.

Yes, works great with CFL, which are what I'm using. I believe it shouldn't be a problem with LEDs as well. This switch is not a dimmer, it is 100% on or 100% off on a timer. My understanding is that some CFL and LED bulbs can not be dimmed which would be a problem if one were to use them on a dimmer switch.

It does. It is basically just a timed relay. I believe the maximum current is around 10 amps. Which is huge for an outlet. You'll be good to go.

I don't use it for CFL or LED bulbs but the product description on Amazon states ALL TYPES OF LIGHTING. I would just the specs for this switch on Honeywells website to be clear.

Mine controls the front porch lights and all three are CFL's, so yes it does. Not sure about LEDs though.

I used to control a contactor/relay that controlled the lights. I did not use in it in the direct wiring of the lights.

It should have no problems with CFL or LED bulbs, it does not alter the electrical current going through it. I use it for my home theater projector (connected as if it was the fan).

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.

Typically you can always use a dimmer on a halogen bulb. Not on CFL bulbs. This plugs into the wall, so if you add a dimmer it should work fine.

It will work with led light bulbs although certain ones will not dim correctly. They will go low and then turn off instead of staying slightly dim. I use mines with normal can lights works awesome. Hope it helps.

No, you cannot use CFL bulbs. However, it works very well with regular light bulbs.

I would assume so. It just provides power to your fixture, so if your fixture can do CFL, then you should be fine.

Yes with higher wattage bulbs. I tried using with a 3 bulb fixture that had 4 watt LED bulbs installed. It didn't work until I replaced bulbs with incandescent 25 watt.

Be very aware of your light bulb type before purchasing. I cannot say if it will do what you want. We use CFL (compact florescent) bulbs and those will not work at all with this switch. As another answer said, the LED bulbs might, but unless the description has changed nothing is mentioned online even about CFL bulbs, though it does appear in the very tiny print on the packaging once you receive it. Good luck though.

I don't know if CFL would handle this type, since it doesn't just cut on and off, the lights brighten and dim with my incandescent bulbs in it. It isn't marked as CFL compatible.

Through research, I found out they do not work with CFL or LED Bulbs. I ended up going with Maestro by Lutron MS-OPS2-WH and they work GREAT! Toughr.

Yes, it works well with low wattage lights including incandescent and LED bulbs. There is a relay built-in that "clicks" when the lights change state (OFF to ON or ON to OFF). In wiring the light, there is a connection to neutral (white) and hot (black) although the color of the wires may differ depending on whether it is a 3-way or single pole.

Yes, CFL bulbs can be used but note it comes with candelabra bulb fittings.

I don't see why not. It's basically an on-off switch. I'm using mine with a CFL with no problem (except I don't like the CFL's brightness or warm-up time). But the fixture works just fine in turning the lights on and off. I'm sure it will work equally well with an LED bulb (which is what I'm gong to do myself next time a bulb needs to be changed).

I am using it with a CFL, but not the 3-way kind, so I don't know if the latter would work.

This switch is NOT recommended for CFL/LEDs. I have tested with both and experienced early failures (including a failure of the electronics on one of the switches.) It's a shame because it's a great switch with the IR feature, and Lutron does have an entire line of CFL/LED certified switches, they've just failed to update this product to the 21st Century.

all timing switches need to have a neutral connector to work with CFL and LED, otherwise your bulbs will flicker. I found out the hard way. It's because regular timers allow a small amount of electricity to go through to power the timer itself which causes issues with CFL/LED bulbs which expect zero electricity when off.But from other people's photo of the wiring, I see a neutral connector on the back so the answer is YES it will work without the flickering issues for all bulb types.
