[@jmartis2]

I love buzzing lights

[@watchingbased784]

This noise literally makes me go insane, how does this even happen?

[@TheSoxmania]

A great light, but you might wanna have that mounting bracket for the ballast checked, On the first day my T8 58W/835 was fitted, the ballast's vibrations dropped the bracket, and out fell the ballast and CRASH went the lamp on the concrete of our kitchen floor!!

[@digigl21]

i love this noise i wish all lights made it.

[@legrosfallos]

Aha, this is the warm lamp sound!

[@form109]

oh its Quite Relaxing...sounds like the Birds are Singing!:-D

This is an old style fire alarm sound but that is even louder.

Well that s some strong backrooms vibe))) kek :333

[@KillingJokes97]

If I may make a request, can you make a long loop of this? Believe it or not it helps me sleep and that's really what I need!

[@lightingkid2010]

i know this is an old comment, but you could right click on the video and hit "loop" and the video will keep looping and never stop until you tell it too. which is right clicking on the video again and hitting loop again, and then the video will no longer loop.

[@A-45Rooms]

[@redbarron1]

what kind of ballast is this? this is so cool.

[@DraculaxAlucard]

Sounds like a saw trap from the lights used in jigsaw's traps.

[@form109]

@Y0uTube235 as mentioned below in the comments,the ballast is not buzzing because of a Fault,its buzzing because its mounted loosely in the chasis,the ballast is not old either.

[@form109]

@colinward007 in this Case the Buzzing is occuring because the Ballast is not solidly mounted to the Fixture Frame...so when its powered up the Little Choke is creating an alternating magnetic field that is attracting and repelling the Frame at line frequency (60 Hz)

[@redbarron1]

@form109 not bad! i try to make fixtures out of wood LOL. what's the choke look like? just a small winding of wire?

[@redbarron1]

@form109 an easy way to kill the ballast on those LOA fixtures is taking two different bulbs and shorting the ends of the fixture with the bulbs. the electronic ballasts in those things have no internal protection devices. i don't buy those fixtures anymore either.

[@form109]

The Reason its Buzzing so Loudly is that the Ballast is Mounted Loosely...so Obviously the Alternating Magnetic Field would cause the Metal Shell of the Fixture to Vibrate at Line Frequency.

[@bonge_Spob2857]

No because you noclip into the Backrooms

[@photocontrol]

Birds singing? Naw that's the ringing in your ears from this noisy fixture LOL.

[@JamesLPlummer]

I intend to use the sound from this video in a video game mod map, as the sound for the lights, with your permission of course and credit will be given.

[@DBARNZY805]

Perfect backrooms audio.

[@form109]

@BowlingMania14 the ballast is a Tiny Choke inductor that came out of a Cheap Lights of America Shoplight Fixture.

[@justminibanana9128]

fools he is the creator of the backrooms

[@form109]

@BowlingMania14 in this case the Ballast itself hardly hums....however in this video it was mounted very loosely to the steel chasis....the magnetic energy from the energized ballast caused the steel to buzz against it.

[@wayneskinner]

the last one we had like that went flash flash bang and blew the breaker lol

[@AliceC993]

Very.

[@suns_out_7610]

Keep counting the seconds buddy, trust me, you’ll be fine.

[@form109]

@Y0uTube235 yes we are 60 Hz in America....though i don't know if there is any particular advantage of either frequency,however i know opperating 60 Hz Equipment on 50 Hz Line Current will most likely cause overheating and damage,Electronic Ballasts don't buzz,but some might emit high frequency noises.

[@RedTheAngryBird438]

It buzzes at 120 Hz, our ones are at 100 Hz. Looks like the sinusoid wave are changing him 120 Times per second (60 Hz) or 100 Times per seconds (50 Hz)

[@form109]

@colinward007 ive had my share of Electrical Accidents...when the Two Hot Wires contact each other just for a second the breaker doesnt trip...however when one live Wire Contacts the Earth Connection(Ground)..the breaker Pops off instantly...why is that?

[@form109]

@Y0uTube235 the Setup i got going here is Rapid Start in Nature.....the Ballast Choke is connected to the lamp...the two additional pins are connected to another choke and a capaciator....when the metal shell is grounded this gives a Rapid Start Type ignition....if i wire a Starter in there i dont have to ground it to light it......

[@gamingstudios2921]

"Bruh what da??? Why does this place look soo yellow and carpets smell?" Oh nah im in the backrooms level 0

[@petsipsop]

Sure man! Thanks!

[@Zetsumei88]

Oh lord. Guess the ballast is RIP.

[@redbarron1]

@form109 it's happened to me before. they can be loud. nice fixture though

[@form109]

@Y0uTube235 the core is vibrating against the housing basically just buzzing against it...the choke itself is pretty silent.

[@redbarron1]

@Y0uTube235 I don't know what it is, but it's loud! LOL. I like the hum of magnetic ballasts, but this one might be a little too loud for me LOL.

[@form109]

as long as credit is given.

[@petsipsop]

Can i use this in a short movie i'm going to make?

[@form109]

@colinward007 We have Circuit Breakers...they Arent excactly modern...i believe they are original to the house which was constructed in the Late 60's to Early 70's...thanks for the help.

[@form109]

@BowlingMania14 the actual ballasts in mine aren't Electronic......they are small Line Frequency Chokes.....you might think of the setup as Electronic Preheat in a way.......but instead of a glow bottle having an electronic starter and Cap in place.

yo guys i think i found the original backrooms ost video since backrooms was created 3 years ago and this vid is 13 years old

[@form109]

@BowlingMania14 LOL you'd never believe this fixture is made from Recycled Parts....the Chasis itself is the Ballast Channel cover for a Wraparound Type Fixture.....the little Choke came from a Cheap Lights of America Shoplight,haha

@Y0uTube235 what do you mean Poor Ballast XD>?

I have these types of lights in my studio and the buzzing is annoying. How may I stop the buzzing? I usually turn off the ceiling lights when I video. Would be great to keep the lights on all the time.

[@PRAISEGODMEDIA]

Update to my question: I spoke with an electrician and he said if you switch from fluorescent lights to LED you won't be dealing with buzzing/humming noise anymore. Once I do the switch I will let ya know.

@TheSoxmania this fixture was a home creation lol...from random parts....the ballast is a Tiny Choke from a cheap shoplight....the thing is a 1" Square with a Depth of about .25" and it weighs not even a pound so if i did fall out i wouldn't be too concerned ,but that's an intreasting story you told that's quite unfortunate.
