Well, I bought another great Ikea product. After some difficulty with assembly—which was mainly due to limited access—it’s now installed: the FUGA four-light LED fixture.
And it’s buzzing...
So loud that it’s unbearable to listen to...
I don’t want to get used to it. What’s going on?
Could it be because of the four LED bulbs, Ledare LED 400 lm (approximately 340 lumens)?
Or is the fixture possibly defective?
Has anyone else had similar experiences?
The fixture is connected to a dimmer switch, which might also be causing the buzzing noise...
It’s frustrating because the lighting is perfect, and we really like the design of the fixture!

Not all LEDs are dimmable. But it’s quite simple: connect the lamp without a dimmer, and if the buzzing stops, then the issue is with the dimmer.

And not every dimmer is suitable for LEDs. It must be a phase-cut dimmer, and most only work properly from 20 watts (should all be stated in the documentation).
