When we put in new lighting in the house last month we went with 
Lutron "smart" dimmers (3-way dimmers that "talk" to each other), and 
so far not a whit of detectable RFI from them, nor from conventional 
light dimmers in the house or from two plug-in types. Most are within 
10' of the shack, too.

When I heard some noticeable QRM, the first thing I did was power off 
all those dimmer -equipped circuits and no change was detectable. I 
suspect I have a bad pole insulator somewhere in the neighbourhood - 
it's especially bad in summer. The only thing that causes problems is 
the Viewsonic LCD flat panel monitor on the other computer.
