I am considering installing dimmable LED spots. My concern is that the spots might buzz when they are not turned up to full brightness. Please excuse me if the question does not make sense electrically, I am a complete electrical layperson :) Thank you!

So I haven't heard yet (haha) that LED spots buzz, if anything it was the dimmers on the wall. Explain your planned setup.

Phew, setup... I’m not that far yet. For me, the fundamental question is whether I should install a suspended ceiling, for example in the bedroom, with LED spots. But only if they are dimmable. I’ve heard that it’s basically possible. However, it would be terribly annoying if the things or related parts emit audible buzzing noises. I can’t say anything about the electrical setup. I’m too uninformed about that.

The question was more: How do you want to dim - LED spots in the ceiling and then dim directly via a dimmer on the wall? Or do you want to install something like Philips Hue bulbs and then dim via a wireless dimmer and possibly a mobile phone?

Understood! I want to dim purely via the dimmer in the wall directly, no radio dimmer or mobile phone.

Then I don't see any problems "these days". It is important that the light bulb and dimmer are compatible. There are different dimmers - leading edge or trailing edge. It is best to get information and inquiries at a specialized retailer (there are also good shops on the internet).
