    They are unlikely to, but you could buy one and try it first.

    Low quality items can cause radio frequency interference when used with certain types of transformers for down lighters.

    I've heard of this once.

    It was with use of an "Astra" dimmer. The company that manufactures the product had a little plastic end cap that fit onto the consumer unit and solved the problem.

    No idea what caused it, how the plastic part worked, but I heard it worked.

    i think it sounds like the plastic cap you refering to is a noise reducing capacitor. used to eliminate "noise" or "feedback" from an electric/electronic circuit
