[TenTec] NOISY_LIGHT_DIMMER

[Wes Attaway (N5WA)]

The Lutron dimmers I have are not the expensive models.  As I recall
they are "ordinary" and sell for just a few dollars.  I'm sure the
commercial units must have some advantages but I can't see paying for
them, based on the RFI performance I have experienced from the less
expensive models.

I use only Lutron Centurion dimmers.  They are commercial units which
cost 
about $25~$33 each [depending on current rating and number of poles] but
I have 
no noise at all from them.  I have one on the light in the hall outside
my 
shack and have never heard a whisper of noise from AM BCB to 10 meters.

High quality doesn't cost, it pays!
