This is more of a rant versus request for suggestions,
I did a basement finish out. I roughed it out last fall and put in some SP switches and some pigtail screw shells for the HO to have lighting for Sheetrock (they did it themselves). I had LED bulbs in the screw shells.
Everything worked fine all winter with no tripping issues on the lighting circuit.
I trimmed it out a couple days ago, using the LED 6" fixtures that resemble a can light 16 total. 2 bedrooms (4 each) and family room (8).
I had 2 dimmers in for the family room.
Now they're having arc fault tripping issues.
As an experiment I took out the dimmers and put the SP switches back in. Didn't help.
Last night he texted me to say that it tripped again, along with a circuit that feeds main level living room. That circuit has never tripped before! He had a hard time getting that circuit to reset. That breaker isn't located near my AFCI breaker in the panel.
I'll look at it today, but so much for making a profit on that project!
Frustrating! :rant:
