Just a general question, I’ve had the reefLED 50w for about two weeks now and love them. However, I noticed a high pitched ringing coming from the fixtures that I didn’t notice the first week. Is this normal or did something cause this as when you re-program a setting them turn on and off and such.

Negative the fans aren’t running. The lights are set on 20% intensity also. And the house is kept at 65F so I would assume they’re not over heating

Probably you're hearing coil whine from the main board of the lights. Typically it's nothing to worry about, albeit annoying. You can call RedSea but I doubt they will do anything about it. If that's the case you can always open the lights up and put a dab of hot glue on the coils and that should quiet it down. Look up coil whine on GPU's and you will find a ton of info on it.
