Dimmer issues

[nizak]

I have 2 LED dimmers located next to each other in a 3G box.

One controls 4 recessed can lights in the center of a room the other controls 5 around the perimeter of the room.

Not that it should matter but they are all located on a sloped ceiling that’s approximately 12’ at the low end and 18’ at the high end.

Dimmers are listed as being compatible to the lamps and both are well within the wattage rating.

4 lights in the center work great
5 lights around the perimeter have a noticeable humming that’s coming from the cans and not the wall dimmer.

Removed 1 bulb in the group of 5 to make the loads on each even, no change in the humming.

If there was an issue with 1 of the 5 bulbs could that cause the problem and affect all of them?


Replaced the dimmer just because it was easy and still the same.

Any help appreciated.

I've had sporadic blinking, humming and buzzing using Leviton Sure-Slide dimmers with Feit recessed lights.

Adjusting the trim helped on about half of them, but not all. Switched to Lutron Maestro and all was good

What brands are you using?

I think it's probably the bulbs.
I can't recall ever using Feit with Diva, though.

There just seems to be more compatibility issues with Feit than any other lights I've used

Thanks. I’m going to try different bulbs tomorrow.

I would move the non hummers to the humming lights to see if the problem moves.
