I have noticed that Home Depot sells commercially rated devices to the
average consumer. I don't think they are supposed to do that.

I see its listed as "Commercial Electric". That should be a tip off.
Commercial lights are allowed to be noisier than one designed for home use. Sorry,
can't quote the regulation, but it's been discussed here before. Perhaps someone will
jump in with those details.

Subject: [RFI] LED lights to avoid
A ham friend did some kitchen remodeling recently. The contractor used LED
ceiling lights from Home Depot that turned out to be pretty noisy.
Unfortunately,
he didn't get a screen grab but he described the noiseas broadband. Below are
his comments and solution.

This is the Home Depot LED light I mentioned at lunch today that was so noisy.

They looked nice but looks were very deceiving. I think it is a good idea to
avoid
the Home Depot Commercial Electric brand of lighting. We replaced them with
GE flood lights and a snap in trim piece.
I also put GE LED light bulbs in the bedroom ceiling fans and they are quiet.
I have several of the Sylvania candelabra base lights in decorative chandeliers
and they too are quiet.
Best approach to changing over to LEDs is buy one and test it before you buy
for the entire project.
