whats the minimum load of this dimmer switch? Will this dimmer switch work with LED bulbs? Is it trailing edge or leading edge?

Hi there, this is not the dimmer you are looking for, you need the V Pro series JQP401 0-100w.RegardsDavid

what is the minimum watts? (max described as 400w)

I quite happily use 100W, 60W, 55W and 40W bulbs with mine, any lower and it's probably not worth using a dimmer switch. I get good range at 40W in my bedroom but use a brighter bulb in my front room and drawing room. Remember this item is not suitable to use with low energy saving bulbs!

Does an ordinary bulb work for this switch ?

I am using clear candle halogen bulbs E14 42W. They are fine with the dimmer switch.

Does this dimmer simply replace the normal on off switch

Yes u can just press for on/off or turn for brighter/dimmer! But not all light bulbs dim so check which bulbs do! Hope this helps a bit x
