Do these work with LED and fluorescent bulbs? Other similar units make the bulb flicker.

I used these with Christmas regular and led lights and there was not any flicking. I did not use them for any indoor higher powered lights, so I can't answer for those type.

I use them with an LED strip light (under-cabinet type), and it works like a charm. No flickering at all.

Yes I did run CFL bulbs with it. About 12 all at once and there was no "flicker". I had run them with a modified sinewave inverter and it was really bad. This will work for you.

I have two setup, both on CF bulbs. I have 8 bulbs on one circuit, and one of the bulbs I noticed flickers for a few minutes after you turn them off. Something new I found out, when the power goes out, then comes back on, the lights on these units come on with the power.

Not an expert, but I'd say yes and no. They're changing the led light bulbs to work with dimmers, not the other way around. But I do use these dimmers with dimmable Leds, and have had no issues.

Not sure about fluorescent, but I use it with 3 led bulbs. Works great! Should just get led's, they last forever!!

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.

Mine work with any type of dimmer. No humming. I see that others have written reviews were they complain about buzzing. I haven't used one on a lamp next to a reading chair where I might notice a hum. I have them in ceiling cans with a dimmer switch. Never noticed a hum or any black spots on the bulb. I'm an mechanical engineer. Sorry, but LED bulbs don't hum when the voltage is reduced.

Michael M. I don't know what you are doing but I have several of these and never have an issue. Granted they are not the best quality but no reason for dimmer not to work with them. Do make sure the LED bulbs are dimmable, if they are not you will get a strobe light effect.

Yes they do flicker. They get a bit brighter then dimmer. It is very subtle. I love these.

Yes! The manufacturer says it will work for led bulbs. It will NOT work with fluorescent bulbs(will burn out the sensor).

I currently use these dimmers to dim under cabinet and in cabinet led lighting and they work great. This is lighting where there is a separate driver. I haven't tried them with LED bulbs with an integrated driver. You may want to try http://Lutron.com/ledtool

I used mine on CFL's, and it shuts them completely off. I assume LED's would behave in the same manner. The prior switch I had did allow "bleed" and the CFL's flickered, this switch resolved that issue.

I have used led bulbs in fixtures with dimmers and did change anything with the hardware. I DID HOWEVER make sure that the bulbs were listed as dimmable before i installed them and i have had no problems at all.

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

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.

Make sure you are using a high-quality dimmer and one preferably tested and marketed to use with LED lighting. I have been able to dim my bulbs to about 50 percent. Below that, the light flickers or goes completely dark.
