Customer Review: If you have CFLs, it WILL work, but read...
Summary: 5 Stars
(Make sure you read my update at the bottom, please.)
About my installation: finished attic with four R30 recessed lights plus track lights with a total of nine R20 bulbs. That's 13 bulbs total on the run. Only ONE light switch at the bottom of the attic stairs.
To make this another bedroom (which we would like to do) it would be a pain to have to trudge to the bottom of the stairs and back up again to shut off lights at bedtime. However, it would be impossible (or at least REALLY expensive and messy) to re-wire for a 3-way switch (beams, pipes, etc., all in the way between floors and ceilings.) SO, what to do?
I purchased this and HOPED it would work with compact fluorescents. Only after purchasing did I read the reviews, and I'm glad I waited, because I wouldn't have purchased it if I'd read them in advance.
Turns out this product WORKS GREAT with my CFLs. Perhaps it is because I have so many on the line, that the load is sufficient, as one other review mentions. I have no humming or any other noise at all. It is silent, even with 13 CFLs on this run. I think that says a LOT.
If you have fewer lights to control and want to use CFLs, buy it and see if it works. You may have to keep one incandescent in there to make it work, but it still will save you money in wattage, and it SURE beats the cost of rewiring!
Well worth the money!
Update 3/21/10
Have been meaning to update this. First couple of times used, it did not flicker. Then it started to, for whatever reason (nothing changed...so, kinda odd.) So I followed the advice of another reviewer, and changed one (of the 13) lights in the line to an incandescent. No more flickering! It's still WELL worth the money!! Easiest, best, and least expensive solution out there.
