Tony,

In general, light and sound equipment should never be used on the same circuit for this exact reason. There are drastic differences in the types of circuitry found in lighting equipment versus sound equipment and when used together on the same circuit can lead to humming, popping, clicking, etc. propagating through your speakers. In truth, the problem doesn't discriminate to any specific manufacturer of equipment despite that seeming to be the case in your situation.

While I've seen a few products on the market that claim to silence electrical noise for these types of applications, your best bet is to just keep your sound and light systems on separate circuits. This is a free (and safe) solution and is what nearly all professionals do, and for good reason. Hope this helps!
