Comment on Is there anything I can do about the humming of an LED?

The humming is going to be its power supply, either a transformer-to-rectifier or switched mode power supply.
You could open it up and see what psu it uses, swap it out for one of same voltage but higher quality. If it’s a transformer sometimes you can self-pot them in hot glue to cut down on vibration but you do so at your own risk when working with 240 mains.

Sweet! Unfortunately I have secured it to the wall with semipermanent double sided tape, and I’d rather not pluck it down at the moment. But if the humming will interfere with my work, I’ll check out the insides! Duly noted on the safety risks! 🫡 Thanks!

Before you dismount it from the wall, have you tried turning it on, then applying physical pressure at various parts of the outside of the light to see if the sound changes or disappears? Make sure its not a vibration that could be solved with a tiny bit of padding between two hard surfaces.

Excellent advice! Thanks! I’ll try this tomorrow after work. 🫡😊
