Why is this fan/light control switch not recommended for LED bulbs? The light portion of the switch is just on/off, not dimming.

Sorry, I used the wrong part number - I meant SFSQ-LF.
The S2-LFSQ was tested/rated for up to 300watts incandescent/halogen only for the light portion. While technically you could have an LED load connected to the control and work properly for a time, the control was only rated for incandescent/halogen and over time the inrush current of the LED could impact/damage the control. We'd recommend to use it only with incandescent/halogen as it was tested/rated to be used with.

I have never used such lanterns. Moreover, I have never had my car. Therefore, I did not face the problem of choosing the right lighting for the salon. However, it was important for me to buy energy-efficient equipment. They help to save electricity, but they are more expensive than usual.
Moreover, I replaced my old chandeliers with https://www.vont.com/product/vont-bulb-color-smart-light-bulbs-smart-bulbs/ last week. Btw, the LEDs may dim eventually. They start blinking and buzzing after that. However, it is easy to purchase or replace a broken part of an LED chandelier.
