Hello, I have a ceiling fan hooked up that makes the recessed lights flicker/dim for a second when changing the speed of the fan. I have a 15 amp AFCI breaker hooked up to a 3way smart light dimmer then hooked to the companion 3way light dimmer which then goes to 4 recessed lights. The fan is hook on the same breaker but goes from breaker to fan switch to fan. The fan has no lights. I have a diagram of my wiring i did and links to all the equipment I have.

It says right on the product information that the dimmers are not compatible for use with LED lights.

For use with incandescent and halogen bulbs only

I posted the wrong link I have the one for CFL/LED bulbs.

The issue is not the switch its the fan. When I have the lights on and then I turn the fan on its fine. But when I turn the speed of the fan up the lights will flicker/dim for a second then go back to normal.
 
I figured it out. Im just going to put the fan on its own circuit and then put the 9 lights on there own circuit.
