Right.  I did that a few years ago and didn’t hear much of anything.  I’ll have 
to try it again.

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

I use Lutron dimmers all over the house with LED and incandescent and have not 
noticed any RFI.

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.

Are you dimming incandescent lamps, or LED lamps?

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.
