Why is my bedroom ceiling light fixture buzzing?

Why is my bedroom ceiling light fixture buzzing? Noise or wobble usually means loose screws, an unbalanced blade, a shade touching the lamp, or a dimmer that is not rated for the motor or driver. Tighten hardware with the breaker off. A light-only box is not rated to carry a moving fan.

How to decide

1. Stop the fan and see whether the noise stays with the light only.
2. Replace a bulb dimmer on a motor with the control the manual lists.
3. Shut power off if anything smells hot.
