So today I got a Night Ize IQ and Night Ize drop in and they make an insanely annoying hum, I am not sure which one its from, but when used together its really annoying in a quiet room. Do I have a faulty part? Is this a known issue? Is there a fix? As of right now I will retrun the IQ to frys and get something else this weekend enless theres a fix.

I have not noticed any noise from my similar set-up, nor remember this complaint from anyone else. I'd bet you have a bad IQ switch. People have reported varying problems with them. My first one had to go back because of bad ill fitting threads.

IIRC, that's the inductor "humming"; lots of other lights do it as well. Whether it bugs people or not may depend on a combination of one's hearing and the actual loudness of the humming.
