Buzzing lights help

10 years ago

I had a new dining fixture installed last week as part of my kitchen reno. The dining fixture was installed with a Lutron aycl-153 dimmer toggle. I started with Edison LED bulbs (there are 8 in the fixture) and they buzzed horribly. The reviews for the bulbs mentioned the buzzing so I returned them and switched to incandescent bulbs, dimmable, 60w. The fixture is still buzzing- if anything it's worse. I'm thinking at this point I need to call the electrician back in, right? Is there anything else I should try?

I've found that simply trying a different brand of incandescent bulbs can help. Some seemed to buzz and others didn't.

I doubt it has anything to do with the fixture, so calling the electrician back might be a waste of time.

At the least, it's fairly cheap to try a bunch of different incandescents before you do that.

But 2 different bulbs already having issues? Doesn't that seem unlikely?

But one was an LED bulb that you said was already reported as having buzzing problems. So I wouldn't really count that one.

I think I tried several different brands of incandescent bulbs before I finally found one that didn't buzz.
