LED dimmer light buzzing when switched on

Abdul Haque · Oct 19, 2017

Hi all,

We had new electrical wiring done 3 years ago on a domestic property by a qualified electrician.
Installed the following light switch: IJDCI101S Varilight V-Pro IR Series, Intelligent Programmable Master Dimmer, with Touch Sensitive Button and Centralised Remote Control Sensor - 1 gang, 0-100 Watts of LEDs, Dimension Screwless Polished Chrome [IJDCI101S] - £24.76 : My Switch Shop, Varilight Dimmers, Varilight Switches & Varilight Sockets - http://www.myswitchshop.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=12984
Installed the following light fixture: https://www.wayfair.co.uk/Searchlight-Maypole-8-Light-Candle-Style-Chandelier-SRL1149.html
Used the following light bulbs: 4W E14 Candle Shape Bulb - Warm White - Dimmable - https://www.ledhut.co.uk/4w-e14-candle-shape-bulb-warm-white.html
Does anyone know where I can get the same bulb specifications as these but in a daylight (between cool and warm white) colour?

When the lights are switched on, doesn't matter on which dimmer level the light is set, there is a faint buzzing / static noise coming from either light bulbs or the light fixture.

Can someone please advise on how I can go about troubleshooting to find out the cause? Or would I need an electrician? I installed the light switch and light fixture so I know the basics and as always safety comes first.

Thanks,
Abdul

I think those varilight dimmers have different setti g for different levels of wattage if you get a Manuka there is a sequence you can press on the dimmer itself that will change the mode and might stop the buzzing. Failing that you might have a loose connection.

I've heard loads of reviews about LED huts lamps buzzing even when used with their recommended dimmer which is usually the varilight dimmer. I would take a look at changing the lamps for a different brand...I would take a look at bell or Phillips.
