Quiet Toroidal Transformer

My wife has bought 2 new fancy lights - these are now plumbed into CBUS,
etc. Except - they have their own electronic transformer (they are both LV
lightings), and if you dim, they buzz like hell. So, my option is to
bypass the internal transformer and use a Toroidal wire-wound unit. One
needs a 100W transformer, the other needs a 200W transformer.

I'd like to reduce the buzz so my best bet is to relocate the transformer
away, and use appropriate thickness T&E cable, etc. So what I need are
quiet sealed transformers so they can put up into the ceiling void.

Anyone have any units like this they can recommend ? I have loads of the
50W sealed units, but not used any toroidal units bigger than this.
