In my experience, neighbor houses with dimmers plus LED bulbs = significant RFI
possibilities.
Any ham who has LED lights or dimmers in their home must be diligent of
significant RFI possibilities.
There are better ways!

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.
