Ghost in the light switch!!!

Ask Eric Stromer a question here. Eric I recently changed all the light bulbs in my house to energy saving fluorescent bulbs. I am having problems with two wall light switches. When I turn the lights on, a strange humming and electrical popping sounds come from the switch. Also the lights will flicker and sometimes go off completely, and the switch will still be in the "on" position. The lights did not do that before I changed bulbs. I do not think I have ghost, but I need help with this problem.Frown

All the bugs have not been worked out with the compact energy saving fluorescent bulbs. As far as I know, the humming is normal. The other stuff I have no idea. I also have not had one that has lasted very long.

I have a dozen CFBs in my house. Never noticed any buzzing.

Do you have dimmers on those switches?
