With modern LED lighting, buzzing or humming is often caused by a mismatch between the dimmer and the lamps, especially near the low end of the dimming range. Sometimes the fix is a better lamp, a different dimmer, or adjusting the dimmer settings. If the noise is persistent, new, hot or unstable, it deserves a proper check.

What can change the scope

  • Do not normalise heat, crackling or full-range instability.
  • Compatibility guidance is product-specific, so manufacturer links are useful here.
