Switch – Non dimmable switch where dimmer switch previously was

dimmer-switchlightswitch

I just found that the dimmable switch to my dining room overhead light had stopped working. I currently have 4 dimmable led bulbs in the overhead light. When the light switch (and the overhead light) was working, the LED bulbs created a slight buzz even when the dimmer was up all the way on the switch. I was wondering if I was able to replace the dimmable light switch with a simple on and off switch and if so, would that solve the buzzing problem as well?

Thank you,
Justin

First question would be, are the LED's dimmable? This would be listed on the box it came in. Second question would be, is the dimmer rated for LED's.

Changing the dimmer out for a standard switch would stop the LED's from buzzing if the LED's were not damaged by the dimmer.

Hope this helps
