I am planning to finish my basement.  I would like to use a combination
of fluorescent lights and incandescent lights with wall-switch mounted
dimmers.  However - I am afraid that they cause interference with my
shortwave and medium wave radio reception.

Can one buy electrically quiet versions of these devices?
Is there some way to tame them?
