All dimmers work with a Triac that basically "chops" the flow of
electricity to a certain duty cycle giving a certain brightness. A
bulb with a heavy duty supported filament will help, like a fridge or
oven or fan bulb. I got some Chinese bulbs rated for 130 volts at the
dollar store, they glow more yellow than regular bulbs but have no
buzz and have lasted a long time. The decorative globe bulbs are
among the worst for filament rattle. They also make a dimmable CFL
bulb now too, but they only work for about 85% of your dimmers upper
range. You could also try a screw base halogen, they are dimmable.


Ok guys, thanks. Asked and answered. Since what I want is the decorative
globe, I'm pulling out the dimmer and putting back in the regular switch.
Unfortunate.
