<div>I always recommend relays. A triad is never 100% efficient so some ballasts will not react as quickly or without a short flicker. In the end both work; however, I have never had a compatibility issue with the relay versions.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The short answer:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The 1CFL is listed for LED and CFL. Electrically they are almost identical, the big difference is the ramping. Simply put, if you put an incandescent bulb
on a 1CFL it will electrically work; however, you will quickly say "Why is the dimming curve so weird?" Instead of a linear ramp rate it will start at full, appear not to dim and then drop like a brick, then off. It doesn't mean it doesn't work, it just
is probably not what you are looking for.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
