EDIT (November 23, 2021): Please see the resources below. I will be closing this thread as we just launched a bulb compatibility app as well as a submission form.

Moving this to one location (our support page) so there’s a centralized location we can constantly update. Please continue to list out bulbs that are compatible and incompatible.
With the LZW31-SN in non-neutral configuration, I’m controlling two Feit model CEOM100/930/4 17.5 Watt bulbs. Without a bypass, I had to set minimum dim level to 30 and maximum to 90 to avoid flickering while on. When off, one bulb was very faintly flickering.
After I installed the Aotec bypass in parallel with the lights, there is no more flicker, at off, minimum 1 (at which the bulbs are off – I didn’t yet tinker to find the lowest lit level), or max 99.
When dimming on the low end it noticeable steps up/down rather than have a smooth transition. Also when I switch the dumb switch on/off quickly the smart switch may not react, so if the lights are off and I switch them on with the dumb switch but then switch them off with the dumb switch the lights will remain on.
Just got my pre orders. Has anyone used it with Philips 468124 Led 50W GU10 Glass Bright White (3000K) lights? I have 4 in series in my ceiling, about to do install. But all i see above are regular bulbs, and not gu10.
Thoughts?
Edit: switches drive these bulbs well. I have mix of bulbs, so each has different response. Will match all bulbs next weekend and confirm the response time and flickering, if any.
You’ll need both driver for the LZW31 (be sure you select correct model ‘-SN’ or not). Then be sure to get the switch-child-device file. Install into Hubitat.
Anyone used Phillips dimmable LED “filament” bulbs?
Just put dimmer in bathroom and existing bulbs in 6 bulb fixture are buzzing,
Like the look and idea of warmer colour temp as they dim of the LED filament style bulbs, would be handy to save on return if anyone has ones confirmed tested. List of known working bulbs in this Mega thread a little sparse for matches on the shelf around here in western Canada
Acuity/Lithonia Lighting WF4 LED downlights are not compatible.
Eight WF4s (part number: WF4 LED 30K40K50K 90CRI) daisy-chained together with neutral. With and without an Aeotec Bypass in parallel, resulted in strobe light-like flickering across several dimming ranges. Lights would turn on at about 50% to strobing, settle in to “on”, then strobe again just shy of 100%.
I tried two different LZW31s which resulted in the same behavior. Once I swapped in a GE/Jasco 14294 switch the light output was smooth from 5% to 100%.
Thank you very much for the info…I finally found the BR30 bulb that should work…I hope!..I am coming from an Insteon system that was very fault tolerant of bulb type perhaps it is their design but I am finding that these dimmers are fairly fussy on bulb type…so far i have been replacing almost all my bulbs…almost…
I’m glad I stumbled on your post. What did you end up doing? I’m considering moving my switches to another spot and placing the jasco’s where these cans are. I got the WF6’s and they have the exact same problem… I’m not too happy about this.
EDIT: FYI a single one of these works fine. As soon as you have 2 or more, it’s disco-30.
Has anybody tried the SANSI 27W dimmable in a non-neutral install? Or any other LED recommendations with the correct wattage (>25)?
I only have one light with one bulb controlled by this switch (black series), and would really like to avoid having to install the bypass.
Thanks!
