Where and what type dimmer switch did you get?
I had to change to LED bulbs in the kitchen overhead canister lights (since you cant get incandescent lights anymore). I then started having intermittent flickering once in a while only when opening refrigerator door or the oven or toaster oven cycles with the heating element.
I changed the dimmer switches to LED compatible ones which I obtained from ACE and Anixter supply house. I believe Lucent types and "LEV LED/CFL slides". ??
I also purchased expensive high quality LED no flicker Philips Ultra Definition Dimmable BR30 bulbs.
Guess what? Still get occasional flickering.
An electrician told me that LED's are highly sensitive to the electrical waves or fields or something like that which is why when an electrical appliance powers on or off it gives off interference...who knows?? I was also told that the new houses south of RT 44 have the same issues.
I guess I have to live with this not ready to market new LED technology>
