Mine are hanging on chains. They only hum when they're first turned on

and
continue to hum for a while if it's really cold out there. Once they've

warmed
up, the hum goes away. Truthfully, I'm only aware of the hum when I first

turn
them on in the winter months.

Trust me, my lights are as cheap as they come: double four foot fixtures

for
about $7.50 each. Plenty bright if you get enough of them.

Mine are double 8' cold start fixtures. They never stop humming (I suppose
I should teach the the words). I can't stand it. Every time I go into my
shop I have to turn on a radio or the tv to drown out that gawd-awful sound.
