Question:
Lighting Lutron dimmers - How do I fix humming and dimming after installing dimmers?

I have 4 dimmers to the box, 1 controls 4 high hats which I believe are 40 watt bulbs each, the next controls 7 Xenon under cabinet lights, the next controls 25 feet of led rope light, and the next controls 4- 4 eyeballs that right now I think have the new swirl style energy savers (fluorescent?). What about the humming in the switch, is that part of the same problem?

Answer:
Right away I'll say that yes the swirl lamps are most likely the ones that flicker because they are fluorescent, not made to dim unless stated. The hum could be possibly due to the size of the dimmer. Most start at 600 watts - count your lamps (times) watts - see what you get, you may need to size up your dimmer. Never take the dimmer to the max allowed, size them about 80% load for best performance. Also - some incandescent lamps will hum. This is due to the filament vibrating at certain levels of the dimmer setting, more at low settings. I'll look into the Xenon lights and the Rope Lights for issues.
