Works with conventional bulbs very good. The button for manually switching on and off could be a bit bigger. Take time to make lamp without remote control is cumbersome. Major shortcoming is the lack of support from the lighting manufacturers. So far I have 2 LEDs and 1 energy-saving lamp bought all of which were dimmed, but not worked together with the dimmer. Now I use perforce a "normal" light bulb - which is wonderful.
