So I'm doing a complete gut-job reno on the bathroom (or rather I'm paying large sums of money to various professionals to do it).
Previously there were 4 line-voltage 6" recessed lights. I had these switched over to 6 low-voltage 3.5" recessed lights. They are in IC boxes, all made in Canada. Bought from a proper electrical supply company, not Home Depot.
They were installed today, using the original light switch (standard cheap Leviton switch - not a dimmer). I note now that there is a distinct 'hum' that seems to emanate from the switch when these lights are turned on.
We're planning on going to a dimmer for these lights. Is there a specific type of switch/dimmer recommended for low-voltage lighting?
On another switch in the same gang are two regular wall sconces. I want a dimmer on these as well, so I'd like to get two matching dimmers, one for the sconces, one for the 6 low voltage lights.
Thoughts?
