I just put 4 - 13 watt outdoor Par30 LED lamps on my Intermatic CA600 dimmer switch. It's a total of 52 watts but the dimmer won't turn them off. I had to put one incandescent par30 back in one of the sockets and now they work fine.

I thought about this application recently as well... Basically you could use your zwave switch to tell what level to put your hue lights at. It's an expensive way to do it but if you already have your zwave dimmers there you're just telling InControl what level to dim to. You'll need a plugin for the Hue lights though. I haven't done this but the wiring will be a little more difficult as you'll need always on power to the HUE AND power to the dimmer switch. Anyone else have a better solution?

not sure of what you are asking but here is a video I saw about zwave dimmers with LED bulbs and halogen.
