Thank you Sharon for your response. I haven't bought the light fixtures yet and I was just wondering (before I headed off to Home Depot) why some seem to hum and others don't. It sounds like a brand new fixture shouldn't hum and one that hums is defective in some way? Or, as you said, needs a replacement part becuase of age?
Thank you Garth, a slight hum is fine. Our computer is in my 'studio', which is really the studio/computer room, and I never even noticed the hum of the computer. I am not lucky enough to have a soft breeze outside the window, it's pounding rain and thunder lately.
I am sure my husband will not be excited about this next project, putting up lights! But, I will just have to remind him that this will (hopefully) further my career (i.e. get money for paintings!).
Thank you Sharon and Garth,
Joan
