I've read most of the posts on the forum about LEDs & Hybrid keypads and it seems the advice is to just give the LED bulb a try.
Is there not an approved/tested list of LED bulbs that work with Hybrid Keypad?
This app note does not mention Hybrid keypads:

Any suggestions or recommendations would be most appreciated!
Thank you for your time!
I've had good luck with hybrid keypads controlling various LED bulbs. None of it is supported. I don't know if it's a dimming performance issue, a UL issue, or maybe a RF communication issue, but there is something about the arrangement that is not supported.Quote:

Like any LED light source on a dimmer, you'll want to bank some extra time to adjust the high and low limits to get the lamps to dim properly.
Good luck!
I had installed a couple of hybrid dimmers with TCP bulbs, one was with 4 bulbs, another with 5. It worked out quite well - they dimmed down to 2% if not lower.
