You'll need cheap dimmers with slow snubbers and high capacitance on the
gate circuits for this kind of cross-talk. Nowadays, anything other than
'Leviton' home wiring devices are pretty immune to this kind of stuff- we
have  to test our power controllers by placing several on the same lines to
ensure that the gating remains unaffected.

What is the application in question, anyway?
