I’ll report back after I change out the switch.
Thanks again.

The real test, Wes, is taking an AM BCB portable into the room
with the dimmer - does it buzz in between stations?

I checked and LED’s can be used, but they still would like to dim the lights.
Does this mean any dimmer switch can be used with LED’s or is there a
recommended dimmer to use?

Ross, I have found that using LED lamps minimized the RFI caused by a dimmer
that
was noisy with a regular bulb.
Of course, not all installations are equal, therefore, YMMV.

What is the current make and brand of dimmer switches recommended that are
"no noise"? I have an old switch in my house that needs replacing.
Thank you.
