Will this work with led GU 10 bulbs on track light correctly? I am looking to buy the FEIT 20w led GU10 bulbs to replace halogen. And if not what is best dimmer switch for these led bulbs

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

I use a Lutron dimmer (an earlier iteration than this dimmer) to control a track light with four fixtures using GU10, 50w, halogen lamps. According to the FEIT website, their 20w GU10, lamps are NOT dimmable. One would, at least, need to find a dimmable replacement for the halogen GU10s. With a track light the dimmer is controlling the transformer powering the track. One would have to know if the transformer were compatible with dimming. And, if it is, one would need to use dimmable LED replacements for the halogen lamps.

As long as the bulbs are dimmable it should work. It is a nice multi programmable dimmer. I am using feit bulbs on all my lutron dimmers. They are not on lutrons list, when asked why they told me they either weren't tested or won't work, no help. They do work, some do have a slight buzz on lower levels.

I think it would work. I'm using it in my kitchen with 5 FEIT BR30 lights that are rated 13W each. The dimmer works great. You can program it to come on at any level of light that you like.

If you use an incandescent bulb, I don't see why you couldn't use a dimmer switch. I don't know how a CFL or LED bulb would work with a dimmer. We really have enjoyed our light. Very pleased with it.

if its a GU 10 bulb yes (please check how many watts are the max for that fixture should be on a label in side track light fixture) good luck... ps 1 year later most all bulbs I bought still working.

This fixture accepts GU10 bulbs. It ships with halogen, but you could probably replace with an equivalent LED if you'd like. Just make sure you have a dimmer that will work with an LED lamp (not all do).

FROM AEON's WEBSITE:For the control of LED lights with a trailing edge, Z-Wave dimming products are not suitable.From Liton's Site - Most CFL and LED dimmers are trailing edge type dimmers. Standard Dimmers are Leading Edge type dimmers.Therefore the answer seems to be NO, this will NOT work with dimmable LED bulbs. Using a standard dimmer with dimmable LED's will cause them to burn out very quickly. I burned out 3 of 5 in a chandelier this way.

If you have it on a dimmer, you need a compatable dimmer switch. If not, contact Feit, they will send you a new light, I bought 14, one was cracked in shipping, Feit sent me a new one immediately. They were great to work with! Good luck.

Yes! they make LED lights that will fit, you just have to look for the compatibility when you purchase. Search Amazon for gu10, LED options will show up. You will have to look for specially marked LED gu10 bulbs to make sure they are dimmable, if thats what you are looking for.

LED bulbs run on DC and come equipped with an AC converter. I don't think the converter would stand up too well on a dimmer, but if you can find LED bulbs that specifically say "dimmable", then go for it. The par 20's (LED) that I use in my kitchen specifically say "dimmable".

It also didn't work with an LED bulb I tried. All it did was Dim the bulb. The bulb I tried was not dimmable. Wondering if a Dimmable LED bulb would work. I tried 3 different brands of CFLs and one of them did work without flickering. The CFL bulb that worked was a 7 watt Greenlite which I received from my electric company.

It works with my LED light, but I have noticed odd behavior when the dimmer is on lower settings. There is a momentary delay before the bulb emits light, and once the bulb is lit, it has a tendency to vary in brightness. I don't notice this with incandescent bulbs on the same switch. Full disclosure: I live in an old house so this may be a result of older wiring.

I have this switch on three circuits that utilize LED bulbs and one that uses halogen. With Halogen, it is flawless, but there is a flicker on each of the LED circuits, adjusting the amount of dim only works for a few minutes, and at the lowest setting, it will either turn off after a few minutes and/or they fail to illuminate when they are set to the lowest setting, when initially turned on.

This switch most certainly DOES work for incandescent bulbs. I know this, because it is currently (get it?) working in my incandescent lamp. If your original dimmer was 500W 120V 60H this will work. I'm not an electrical engineer, but I can't think of a single way the switch would know what type of bulb it is outputting power to, which is why I used it, and I couldn't be happier.

I did not try it with LED, just incandescent. Sorry wish I could help you. I do know that Lutron does address it on their website, something about the right switch for those bulbs.

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.

I bought this dimmer for a neighbor and installed it in his halogen light fixture. That was one year ago and the dimmer still works beautifully. As for CFL's, I wouldn't think it would work, simply because CFL's work differently than Incandescent bulbs. CFL's require a ballast to kick-start the bulb. " A CFL's ballast helps "kick start" the CFL and then regulates the current once the electricity starts flowing.'

It doesn't work after I replace my current GU10 50w halogen bulbs with GU10 5w LEDs.If I mix one halogen among with 2 other LEDs this switch works fine. If I change all 3 to LED's, the switch make the LEDs flicker and they won't turn off.After all it's an old product (mine was dated 11/06) and was not designed for the use with LED.Then I replaced the sensor switch with Leviton Leviton IPS02-1LW 300-Watt Incandescent, 150-Watt LED/CFL Occupancy Sensor (Auto ON/Auto OFF), Single Pole, White but like many people commented on Amazon, it was dead out of the box.So I bought Lutron for $6.50 more but it's perfectly fine: Lutron Maestro Motion Sensor switch, no neutral required, 250 Watts Single-Pole, MS-OPS2-WH, White It doesn't work after I replace my current GU10 50w halogen bulbs with GU10 5w LEDs.If I mix one halogen among with 2 other LEDs this switch works fine.

Hey Chris, so can you share what bulbs you ended up using in your Hunter fan that work with this switcher? I too have a 52" Hunter 5-minute fan and will be getting this Maestro. I have the stock CFL candelabra bulbs but realize I'll need something else..do not want that annoying hum. Can you share your exact bulbs model/make etc.. it'd be appreciated. Thanks!
