Hey everyone! I just replaced the fluorescent lights under my cabinets with LED ones and even added a dimmer switch since the new lights are quite bright. Everything works well, but I've noticed that the last light in the series buzzes when it's on, no matter how I adjust the dimmer. I read that buzzing from LED lights is pretty common. From what I've gathered, if all the lights buzz, it's likely the dimmer, but if just one lights up with a buzz, it could be the light itself. Does that sound right? Should I just replace the buzzing light, or is there a chance it could be something else?

Make sure your dimmer switch is actually compatible with the LED lights you’re using. Here’s the one I found: [Lutron Toggler LED Dimmer](https://www.homedepot.com/p/Lutron-Toggler-LED-Dimmer-Switch-for-Dimmable-LED-and-Incandescent-Bulbs-150W-LED-Single-Pole-or-3-Way-White-TGCL-153PH-WH-TGCL-153PH-WH/202746671). I didn't see any issues, but it’s good to double-check if you’re a beginner.
You could try swapping the buzzing LED light with one of the other lights to see if the issue follows the bulb. It might take some work, but it could help you figure out if it’s the bulb itself or something with the setup.
Yeah, that makes sense! If you can easily do that, it's definitely worth checking before buying a new light.
Thanks for the link! I’ll check the compatibility to be sure.
