I have 5 recessed cans that have two switches that operate them from opposite sides of the room. One has a dimmer. The other is part of a 3 switch plate, of which, a switch right next to it (middle one) controls the light over the kitchen table, also on a dimmer.
Two of the 5 recessed cans I changed to LED, as well as a different color of light as a way to change up the look of the kitchen. That was about two months ago.
This morning, I came downstairs, turned on the 5 recessed cans just fine. Went to turn on the light over kitchen table and when I did, the 5 cans (the ones on a completely different switch, mind you) started flashing, almost strobe-like. If I dim down the kitchen table light, they stop. Dim is back up they start flashing again. I notice when I dim down the kitchen light there is a slight buzz/hum from that switch. The third switch on that 3-switch plate has no effect as seems operational as normal.
What might be going on here? Sounds like possibly just a bad switch on the kitchen table light w/dimmer but why would it affect lights on a completely different switch? Also, is it just coincidence this occurred after the LED bulb installation, or is it related?
