Do lights cause low level static with these.Bedroom lights especially touch lights!

They should be shielded well enough but the cables/wires may not be. Touch light put a small electic field on items. A disturbance in the field is what enables a touch light to sense 'on/off' touches. Make sure the speakers and cables are well away from them and that should resolve problem (IF that is the problem). Otherwise i like the speakers alot.

I have not had any static noise; the sound is clear no matter what I have on around it. This includes lights (though I don't have touch lights), timers, electric fireplace switch, dimmer switches, electric heater, wifi and other computers, microwave, and phones. Hope that helps!

Yes. If your light switch is on, they respond to motion both day and night. I had my electrician tweak them to stay on longer because they were set to turn off after 5 minutes of no motion.

We have always had the base on the shelf next to the tv. When I tested the base in back of the tv, I got a lot of static. The only time the static stopped was when I was about 2 feet in front of the tv. Don't let this stop you from buying the ears. We have two pairs now and don't know how we ever lived without them.

Eh, a little bit dimmer overall. They are only 600 lumens, which would be equivalent to about a 50 watt bulb. Depends on your use but it can be noticeable. I've added two additional lamps in my bedroom to cover the difference (and make it that much more fun!) As for a hum, I have heard none from mine.

Yes, I have them in all my lights on the ceiling and use in my outside light. I really like them alot. Gives off a better light I think. I hear they also use less electric.

Yes they do. I haven't been able to find out why but I get static on my radio when I turn on my lights or push the brake. That said, they are a lot brighter than any other light I've used.

Yes, but they did not work well in my old apartment's wiring. "Dim" was still rather bright and they buzzed louder than my incandescents. I returned mine. I blame my wiring, but other reviews on The Wirecutter and elsewhere said those two things weren't an issue.

In my opinion they're a little dimmer, especially depending on the color you're using. Definitely no hum though.

I have 6 of these installed on a mud room cabinet. They don't make any noise. I would guess that any noise you are hearing is coming from your 12V power supply, otherwise known as the LED "driver". Try testing the lights by powering them with a 12V battery to see if the lights are making the noise or not. Good luck.

I have them installed in a light kit attached to a ceiling fan. No problem with any kind of sound. They work great.

Yes, In any dry climate, static electricity is there and you should take all procautions to protect your equipment. Even worst if you have carpet in your room where your equipment is located.

Mine do fine until you get to very low levels. Also seems to be sensitive to how quickly you move the dimmer- slower is better for avoiding a flicker.

I don't know. All I can tell you is that I have a tv, computer, two stereos and dvd player plugged in. If I connect any one of the to another or turn all on at once I get no hum or static. The volume is a little reduced with each button pushed down but no other issues. It shouldn't matter but maybe a shielded cable? I used to have an old computer that produced radio frequency interference. It made static on the older tube type television if it was close to it when I connected cheap audio cable to it.. just throwing that out. Good luck.

Yes...and the lights are fantastic....I even put them under the edge of my floor cabinets with the motion sensor that turns the lower cabinets on when you walk into the kitchen at night..nice effect.

Yes, these lights act just like normal light bulbs. I have these installed in lamps next to the bed and they work just fine with the turn switch in the lamp. I also have them in the ceiling and the wall switch works just fine with them.

Definitely if they work right. We had a set before, and it worked beautiful, this time the volume has to be on 0-10 at least before it works. It has some static too. I think it is defective.

I have had my lights for about a year now. So far I have had no trouble with them. My lights are not exposed to the elements as they are under a tonneau cover.The led lights are bright enough to light up the entire bed at night. My lights are connected to a pre wired switch on my console. Hope this helps you.
