Bulb Compatibility

Due to how this dimmer is able to work using only 2 wires, it is only recommended to use incandescent bulbs.

Dimmer Switch (2-Wire) is able to avoid need of a neutral wire by completing an electrical circuit through the connected load. Bulbs that include a power supply like LED and CFL bulbs may emit a soft glow even when the switch is turned off. However, we have seen applications where dimmable LED bulbs do function with this switch. Typically higher quality LED bulbs and more than one being controlled.
