I have an ultra cheap PWM LED setup which makes a very loud humming/buzzing/etc noise when not at 100% light output. I read somewhere that I need to add capacitors because the issue is caused by the PSU not being designed for massive frequent fluctuations in power pulled from it.
What capacitors do I need? Where in the circuit do I need to add them? I would guess electrolytic capacitors in parallel between the PSU and LED Controller, with the negative side of the capacitor on the negative output of the PSU, and the positive side of the capacitor on the positive output of the PSU. Is this right? I have no idea what size capacitors I would need.
I have this PSU (DC24V 15A 360W):

this LED controller (DC12-24V 288W (if at 24V)):

and 8 of these LEDs (10-30V 27W each):

Thanks for any help!
