(1) Is there a brand of G40-150 bulb that does not hum when dimmed?


Do you really need that 150W? If you are going to dim it anyway, why
not try a 75W? It should hum less.

We normally use it at full brightness. We dim it for special moods.

A "G40" is a 5" globe with a standard hosehold lamp screw base. It
requires a higher wattage for the filament to brightly light the globe
surface (inverse square law from filament to globe surface).
