Are Leviton 24 Hour Programmable Timers (VTP24) incompatible with dimmable bulbs?
I recently changed 6 bulbs in 2 lamp posts that were controlled by the programmable timer switch. If I just manually turn these lights on, they illuminate for 4 or 5 seconds and then turn off. More and more bulbs are dimmable these days. Due to the positioning/height of these lamp posts it would be a major hassle to change the bulbs again. I was thinking about just changing the switch to a regular dimmable switch but read a thread that said those dimmable switches are good for up to 4 bulbs and struggle with 6. I understand that a dimmable bulb wouldn't be able to be dimmed with a simple on/off switch but I don't understand why these bulbs wouldn't just illuminate fully with the 24 Hour Programmable Timer.
