ZEN54 connected to LED shop light. Just put this up yesterday. The driver makes an annoying low pitch hum/buzz most of the time. Once this morning it was dead silent, I thought it was magically fixed but nope next activation back to the hum.
This my default of only 14% brightness
This at 100% brightness (below).
Picture does not so this justice, it’s like walking outside into full sun.
I may end up moving this thing to the garage and just put a single bulb here in the basement stairs.
Does it buzz at full brightness too?
It appears to be a plug-in device -- if so, how does it dim without the Z54 -- does it buzz then too at lower levels?
Some lights like that (shop-light kinda things) just simply don't like being down at a setting that low -- the best play here may indeed be to get a lower output light for that space.
It seems like maybe once it warms up a bit it stops making the noise, even at 100% it still does it but then if I leave it on for a while it seems to slowly stop.
Its a hacked together light someone donated to me to test the ZEN54. Its a 0-10v dimmer driver and the only way I have to dim it is via the ZEN54. The ZEN54 is up above the housing and a cut off cord is wired in, in place of hard wiring, it could go either way. It has no dimming ability outside of the ZEN54.
If I move it to the garage I will put it up above where the door opens, so I can turn it on from a ZEN34 or something when the door is closed if I want extra light. Then the noise wont be as annoying at least.
