We have a room with 9 can lights that we've put cfl dim able light bulbs in. We have. Couple issues 1) there is a loud hum when we lower the dimmer and 2) some of the bulbs start blink. We don't know if these problems relate to the switch or total kw on the fuse or something else. Can anyone help since we aren't interested in having a disco in out living room?
Thank you

Need to check that the CFL lamps are rated dimmable, and that he dimmer is rated to dim CFL lamps.

You might look into LED retrofit fixtures for the recessed cans you have..
Prices are coming down somewhat and, they will last for years, 13 watts as bright as a 75 watt bulb, the ones I put in never hum and the dimmer was $12...
Just a thought.
