Does anyone know of a similar product (on/of light, 3 speed fan control) that IS compatible for use with CFL bulbs?

I don't know for sure, but I would think so be cause the light switch is an on/off switch.

No they do not, if you mean the light saving spiral bulbs - these can not be dimmed NO. However I use the dimmer switch for the fan and the on & off switch for the light, this way I control the fan 1-2-3 speeds and turn on & off the light. They work fine.

The reason dimmers don't work with cfl bulbs is because they have to have a small ballast to power the bulb. You need to find a cfl that supports dimming. But you would probably be better off looking for a led bulb. You pay more up front but it will last much longer than even a cfl. Home Depot has a good selection of LED bulbs if you want to talk to a real person about it.

I use the dimmers with LED lights, but according to the manufacturer, they're supposed to work with CFLs 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

Yes, the CFL bulbs won't make any difference however mine didn't work at all so I'd be a bit hesitant to make the purchase if I were you. Had nothing to do with the type of bulbs it just wouldn't work.

Yes, as I said in my review, I have both the fan and the light wired to separate wall switches. Actually the fan is wired to a 3-speed selector knob, but you could use a slider switch as well. The light fixture says 40 watt max, so 60 watt bulbs probably wouldn't be a good idea. However, you can purchase CFL bulbs which are 60 watt equivalent but only use &lt;20 watts.

Robert, I believe it automatically senses cfl or incandescent bulbs. The phone # in the package insert is 1-888-830-1326 You can call them to double check. My fan did not have a light kit so I did not focus on that aspect of the installation. I hope that helps!

Yes, it does support CFL bulbs. I have 3 switches in my house, one of them controls 5 CFL bulbs.

Yes. The CFL bulb will fit. That is the type I use and it works quite well.

I use my delay switch for the fan function of my exhaust/light in my bathroom. HOWEVER, I cannot think of any reason why the delay switch would NOT work on CFL or LED bulbs. David.

Yes it will work on CFL and I use two 7 watts candelabra lightbulbs. The 40 watt load doesn't seem to come in play. The great part about the switch, it keeps the time and does not need to be reset if the electricity goes out.

This controller ONLY works with dimmable bulbs. It does not work with non-dimmable CFL bulbs. It works great with the Cree dimmable LED bulbs sold at Home Depot.

Yes, I have 4 rooms with CFL bulbs no issues for 5 years, the slide switch is just for fan speed. Only had one switch burn out as mentioned by another poster.

Amazon sells one. The CFL bulb is made by Eiko- 49230, also known as QT13/G24D1/65.

The only one that I've tried is the Lutron Credenza lamp dimmer - the LED/CFL compatible version, part number TTCL-100BH-WH or -BL - and it works well, although the light does not noticeably change color when you dim unlike an incandescent, and also the lowest setting before the lamp shuts off is somewhat bright, maybe 10% or so of maximum brightness. But it dims smoothly and without noticeable noise. It's actually refreshing compared to "dimmable" CFLs. I have not tried these bulbs with any other dimmers however.

I've mounted it on the switch for my LED Christmas lights . . . Works GREAT. I can set it before I go to bed and know they'll go out when I want them to. Haven't set it on anything with CFLs, but I have put it on all bathroom fans in the house - don't have to worry about wandering around after guests and kids to turn things off. Very easy to install.

Per Casablanca Fan, the Model 99019 Remote Control is their newest, best, and easiest to use control. This system controls four fan speeds in forward and full range light dimming. To better adapt to the changing world of light bulb technology, this control system features a CFL Auto-Detect feature that prohibits light dimming if non-dimming CFL bulbs are used in the fan. It also is our first control that eliminates dip switches and frequency interference through the use of Learning Code Synchronization. Similar to garage door programming, the fan and control are paired together when installed with a unique pairing code automatically. To increase flexibility, this control system can be used in Indoor to Damp location environments.

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.
