When I put the light on the medium setting there is a faint screeching noise. It isn't very loud and only happens on medium setting. What's the noise?

That noise is coming from the USB to outlet adapter. You can fix this by getting a higher grade adapter, like the one Apple makes for their devices: Apple 12W USB Power Adapter

The buzzing is only present when the backlight is less than 10. I believe its the flourescent bulb buzzing similar to when typical flourescent bulbs are used with a dimmer. I haven't found the sound to be any louder than the fan/hard drive in my Tivo so I'm not worried about it.

Mary - we haven't had that issue at all with our unit. I would test it in a different wall socket and see if the issue repeats itself. If so, I would replace the bulb and, if your lamp strobes again, I think you have sufficient evidence to point to a flaw in the device. Best of luck. Hope you get it going well enough - my wife is delighted with ours. Joe

I have a 5 bulb fixture hanging over my kitchen table. A high pitched whine comes from one socket. At first I thought it was the socket. I changed bulbs. Same noise. So it's a bad socket, not a noisy bulb. Changed the socket, noise gone.

Yes, I have four of these lights and noticed the clicking noise as well. They seem to click sporadically for a few minutes after they are turned on/off. It's not constant and goes away after a few minutes, but I am considering replacing the lights due to this issue.

A light buzzing sound is normal. Also, verify that you are not overloading the transformer.

no fan noise. i would say the light is not very bright. you could aim the light away from you if you feel it is too bright.

Well some noise is normal and that seems to be what you have going on. If your near a computer or router or any fluorescent lights you will get some EM interference. And that is what it sounds like in your video. You can buy a cheap noise gate and set the threshold to say -75 db and that will clean all that up.

No noise nor light. It's been awhile, but I believe a small indicator light (like power on) did illuminate.

I've had mine for a year in a kitchen fan/light. No noise. But, LED's seem to be sensitive. They flicker with a power drop/surge. This is with all my LED's.

It sounds like either a bad connection, or there's a problem with the rheostat. I would unplug the unit, remove the bulb and try to reseat it. If that doesn't work, try a different bulb. If that doesn't work, try leaving the light on at half strength and see what happens.

Mine is silent too. However, I only have about 40 hours of use with the light and maybe the whine develops over time. I'd try to contact the company, maybe they will take care of you.

I only run one set. Of lights to one transformer and have never heard any noise. Try reducing the number of light lengths to each transformer. I think they recommend only three to a transformer.

I got a Samsung technician came to my house to fix this crackling noise. He also said he never heard this kind of problems from Samsung before. He changed the power supply, but the crackling persists. He then rescheduled for a new panel. A different technician came with a new panel and replaced it with the one on the tv. Now my tv has much less crackling noise. Maybe one or two pops only, but its manageable for me.

At low or medium, its like a babbling brook... On High, it kicks up quite a bit, but doesn't bother me. I run it on high all day, and turn it to medium for sleeping. As NFB replied, its like white noise, no tonal pitches, just a smooth fan sound.
