I don't think so. My garage lights are 4 T-8 tube fluorescent tubes and they don't quite work with this light switch. The light tubes do switch on but have trouble staying steady. Fluorescent tubes are also not officially supported by this 3-wire switch, which probably has something to do with the way it "steals" power from the line/load without the neutral wire. The switch is rated at 5A for incandescent lights but only 1.25A for LEDs. I am not exactly sure why the difference in amperage ratings but it should be the same as most other light switches.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Blair, unfortunately our 3 wire switches do not work with fluorescent tubes due to not having a neutral wire to provide extra power. Feel free to contact us at 1-844-302-2943 if you have any additional questions. -Cync Support Team
