De-buzzing chokes might not be a household term, but if you’ve ever been annoyed by that persistent humming or buzzing sound emanating from your low voltage halogen lighting system, they could be your new best friend. These small yet mighty devices are designed to tackle a common nuisance: transformer noise caused by dimmers. Here’s everything you need to know about standard design de-buzzing chokes.
What are De-buzzing Chokes?
Imagine you’ve installed beautiful low voltage halogen lights in your home or office. They’re sleek, modern, and create the perfect ambiance. However, when you dim them using a standard dimmer switch, you notice an unwelcome side effect – a persistent buzzing noise. This noise is caused by the interaction between the dimmer and the low voltage toroidal transformer that powers your lights.
Debuzzing chokes are specifically engineered to solve this problem. They work by smoothing out the erratic waveform of the electrical current that reaches the transformer. This smoothing action significantly reduces or eliminates the buzzing sound, restoring peace and quiet to your space.
Why Do You Need De-buzzing Chokes?
The buzzing noise from transformers can be more than just an annoyance. In quiet environments such as bedrooms, libraries, or conference rooms, even a slight hum can become distracting and disruptive. By installing de-buzzing chokes, you can enjoy the benefits of dimmable lighting without the unwanted soundtrack.
