Will this work with CFL lights on the fan?

Yes - but the switch seems to burn out about after about a year & I replace it - It must be the initial surge required for CFL lights - After a period of time, the switch starts to smell and you hear some static - I replaced about 7 or 8 times, in last 7/8 years - Lets see if anyone else has had that problem

I have the same issue with Shore Al, original switch was installed in 1999, then replaced incandescent bulbs with CFL around mid-late 2000s, then replaced the switch about 3-4 yrs ago, then now I hear sparking/static sound every time I turn on the light on.I may just convert to energy saving halogen and replace the switch

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.

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 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.

No this does not work well with CFL, only incandescent lamps. Tried it once, when I first received the unit, it flickers continuously, meaning, not compatible. Hope this helps!

Yes, I think it will. Our home has a double wall switch & the fan works great. We have one switch for the fan and on the other switch we put a dimmer for the light.

I have not tried on CFL's only in use on chandelier lights with 25-60W candelabra standard bulbs.

Yes. Works with up to 150 Watts of most dimmable CFL/LED bulbs or 600 Watts of Incandescent/Halogen bulbs.

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.

Yes, I'm using it with a CFL right now. I would assume it would be fine with an LED as well.

I am still able to use the light switch. I think it should still work for any type of fan.

Yes it will, no problem. LEDs are better though. Cfls have a very poor power factor and are less efficient.

I don't think so. The device is designed to create a suction between the bulb and the attachment. Not sure how you would create this suction on a cfl bulb.

It doesn't work on my CFL. I either need to find a CFl that fits these or return them.

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

Yes it will work very well with both LED and CFL lights.......I've had both but currently using LEDs.

Yes Cheryl it will work with CFL bulbs. I have two lamps on one remote outlet one of the lamps has a standard bulb and the other has a CFL and the remote works flawlessly, I would't want to be without my wireless remote control!

The spec sheet shows it works with "all types of lighting" so I'd say yes to LEDs. I use it on CFLs with no problem. Follow the link in the product listing to the user's manual for more details.
