toggle style switch that will work with CF

[TeleFragger]

Does anyone have any insight if a z-wave toggle style switch will come out that works with cf bulbs???

I just managed to get my hands on 2 more 23890w x10 2 way togglelinc switches and 3 1 way togglelinc switches....
so then I just went and did a google on 23892w for the companion switch and found smarhome has them on sale for $12.99 each... so bought 3 of them..

I have a few togglelinc switches in boxes that I Havent used yet.. .but once the companion switches come in im gonna get them all in...


I am going to go z-wave with the ztroller soon and a zwave thermostat. I was going to use the x10 one I bought from a guy up here but after looking into it... it uses an entire housecode!!!!! so if I used H... H1-H16 would be gone (if not more).......
so I will go z-wave....

also was going to go with the ha20c... but after people posting that they dont work with CF bulbs... that put a pass on it for me for now.....

I just cant refuse these 23890w togglelinc switches with boosterlinc...... so reliable.... even dimable on a ceiling fan light and fan.. it dims the light and fan without killing the switch.....


SOOOOOOOOOOOO a request for a
HA20C relay style PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey TeleFragger - one poster last week suggested finding dimmable CFL bulbs that may work with the HA20C...

Does anyone know if a dimmable CFL that will work with a HA20C.

Thanks

well unfortunately that defeats the cheaper price for me..
those bulbs 1. are not cheap (think I paid $12 each last time I tried them) and also 2. they dont dim.... they suck.. however you do have a point... regardless of the lack of dimming with that bulb.... you could just full light it..


also if I see correctly.. someone is saying that it is due to the filamint inside the bulb that creates the circuit.... im gonna guess that the HA light switches do not have a white wire then??? relies on the bulb to create the circuit????

True - I could care less about dimming on some of my lamps that have a CFL - I just want basic on/off control...

I started using the dimmable cfls for recessed lights in my basement with the ZDW120. I haven't seen any problems yet. I don't know if you are looking for a switch with a certain "feel" to it, but I don't really touch any of the switches in my house, HS does it all.

i just want a toggle style switch that works... no real feel or ramp....

just that I have CF bulbs... I guess I will wait until I get the z-troller and zwave thermostat... then possibly a ha20c to test...
