Hum in light fixtures
After another solid week of rain here in Houston I must do something about providing light in my 'studio'.
Holly and Garth, it looks like you're both using the same T-8 light fixtures from Home Depot (and one from Loew's for you Holly) but Garth, you mentioned your doesn't hum, but Holly, your light fixtures do.
The light tubes themselves wouldn't cause the humming, would they? As I understand it, it's the ballast in the fixture that may cause humming.
I don't listen to music when I paint, or anything else, so I would prefer to find a quiet set up.
Does anybody have an explanation as to why some light fixtures hum and some don't?
Thanks!
Joan
