You guys sped read through my post.

I did install new LED rated dimmers. Same result as the ones I had installed before.
This is what actually prompt my post. I thought the new dimmers would be the cure.

Bulbs are all listed as "dimmable" as I mentioned as well, however they are just the semi generic flood light replacements, not the complete retro fit inserts.
I will post some links.
