Nor am I unless it is the choke and high amplitude triac switching
transients are getting to the powerline. I think Lutron dimmers are
susceptible to this - it may be why Lutron sells inline chokes for it. The
report about Leviton made X-10 dimmers flickering came from a reliable
source who posts here frequently while I think some of those reporting in
the other forums qualify as "usual suspects". ;)

I wonder whether anyone with both Insteon and UPB has seen a problem when
sending UPB which deliberately puts high amplitude transients on the line?
