[RFI] Quiet Dimmers For 120V Incandescents

[N1BUG]

> Not cheap but when in doubt, buy the most expensive.

Generally speaking I tend to agree when it comes to RFI, but I had 
an interesting experience several years ago. I bought at $42 light 
dimmer that claimed to have effective RFI filtering. It wiped out 
most of the HF bands and could be heard well into VHF. Thinking I 
had a defective unit, I exchanged it for another of the same model. 
Same problem! I then returned it and bought a $6 dimmer which I was 
unable to detect on any band. It has been long enough that I don't 
recall the brand or models. I wish I did.
