does it work with CFL bulbs

Mine flickers a bit no matter which bulb I have in. Don't know why or if it has happened to anyone else but overall it works

This model is only supposed to work with incandescent bulbs. Mine worked fine for two years with two 14W CFLs but then stopped turning the lights on. Do not buy this model is you plan on using it with CFL or LED, buy the ST01 instead.

have 2 - 1 for a 40w and the other for 80w bulbs. Think the spec requires 30w min load.

I actually have 3 light sockets on the exterior of my house. In order to make it work I have to use at least one old regular bulb. According to the instructions it needs to have a minimum wattage being used with it for bulbs (if I remember it was 40 watt minimum) I tried 3 led bulbs (which totaled under 30 watts) and nothing worked. It works with any combination of CFL, LED, and OLD bulbs as long as the above minimum is met.

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.

Yes - of course it depends what kind of light bulb you put in it. I have 3 LED bulbs that work great on a dimmer. CFLs will not work as we'll.

It works with normal lights, not with Compact Floressent Bulbs (CFL), though.

Yes. It is just a socket extender. This will work with any bulb and or light switch options.

I don't know for sure. But I have used it with 4x 85w CFL bulbs with no problems. Hope that helps.

The CFL/LED designation means it will work with low watt lamps, regardless of the lamp base. There should be no problems.

It will work and dim with any bulb but will not dim with CFL bulbs. They sell their own LED bulb that does not need a switch or module to control it.

yeah, I have a 60w incandescent in mine, so I wouldn't see why a CFL wouldn't work.

It's working great for me with 3 9.5-watt Cree dimmable LEDs. It definitely won't work with CFL's unless they are specifically dimmable CFL's, and probably not even then.

Yes, this sensor will work with LED, CFL, and fluorescent bulbs because it uses a built-in mechanical relay to turn on the bulb. The relay makes it act like a regular switch as far as the bulb is concerned.

This particular model is only supposed to work with incandescent bulbs. Mine worked fine with CFL's for couple of years and then it stopped working. Screen works fine but it doesn't turn the lights on anymore.

It will not support normal cfl bulbs. It will support the more expensive "dimmable" cfl bulbs.

It takes most standard incandescent bulbs except for the ones that have multiple brightness settings. It does not work with the compact fluorescent bulbs even though they fit in the socket.

I use a cfl and it works fine. I think the "traditional" bulb for this lamp is more indirect, but the socket is a standard size, so you should be able to screw anything into it.

According to others that have commented on this Timer, it does work with CFL light bulbs. (That's probably because the ST01 uses a battery to keep store the programming for on/off times.)

Looks like it's rated for 1000 watts so I think it will work. It's not like the CFL bulbs need starters.
