Looking to add my first light switch. It is for an outside porch light that has an LED bulb in it. Any suggestions on which switch is best?

To work with an LED light (bulb), the switch has to support neutral wire - along with the load, source and ground wires.

Some switches only use ground and the load and source (black typically) wires that won't work with LEDs.

This one would work: http://www.lowes.com/pd339577-1353-456370?productId=3707736&Ntt=iris&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Diris&facetInfo=

GE has the single switch or three way switch that supports LED bulbs but GE dimmer products don't.
