Default Dimmer Switches

Hello all,

My wife seems to be using the dimmer switch more in the winter just
when I'm listening to SW. The noise blanker doesn't seem to help. Are
there dimmer switches made that don't produce the "pleasant" buzz of
the standard one? Presumably it would be more expensive, but might be
worth it.



Replace the dimmer with an on/off switch. It's cheap and 100%
effective. Then find a bulb with the right brightness.

I have not looked for them but they used to have bulbs with three
wattage setting and a extra contact in the base requiring the right
type of lamp. Three choices should be all she needs.
