Does this work on CFL light bulbs?

Not for the spirally type, I had to buy one that was shaped like a tradition light bulb.

I wouldn't try it with the spiral bulbs. The spring clip is really made to fit onto regular shaped bulbs.

i would say NO. it's for a regular bulb and don't think it would fit the shape of a CFL.

This switch works with a fluorescent overhead light fixture that uses a balast (i.e. four ft fluorescent ceiling fixture in a garage or laundry room)I expect it will not work for CFL bulb that is not designed for use with dimmers.

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

Yes, Mine is on a dimmer switch and is working fine. I use regular light bulbs, not the cfls.

I don't know for sure, but it works fine for CFL/long-life bulbs. It works for any bulb that fits a standard light-bulb fitting and is for 120 volt systems. It doesn't have a circuit to change volts, so if the LED bulb takes 120V, I am sure it will work.

I haven't tried to use it on a CFL bulb; the clips are designed to be used on a round shaped bulb

Yes, CFL works, but I don't like the "warm up" time it takes them to hit their stated lumen output. The unit clearly states the maximum watts the unit can handle - which is pretty high.Like a previous responder, I switched over to led's. More expensive, of course.

These are designed for Incandescent bulbs only. They make other dimmers for dimmable CFL bulbs & other dimmers for Led bulbs. There are many brands of dimmers. You really need to check out the MFG's recommendations when buying dimmers.

Yes, it works with CFL, LEDs, fluorescent, etc. I have 2 of these, one hooked to CFLs and the other hooked to LEDs, and it works perfectly fine.

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.

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

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

Yes. I have been running CFLs off three of these timers for more than a year. Works fine.
1857681
Yes. It acts as an on/off switch so even non-dimmable bulbs will work. I have two controlling CFLs non problem, and will eventually replace them with LEDs when the time comes.

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

Don't Know if CFL will work or not, have not tried a CFL bulb in the socket but I suspect that they will fit and if they fit, they will work. Some CFL's come on slow so you may be beyond the light before it comes on enough to see.

yes it should work well especially is the bulbs are standard bulbs. The only small issue I have found Is when using on a CFL bulb when you turn the switch completely off the light will still occasionally flicker at a very low light. It is not a huge issue. When using standard bulbs this is not a problem.
