yes, this does happen at a few venues consistently. but it also seems happen anywhere I play.

"from the lights" is what I've been told by several different sound guys, and a couple of other musicians.
(these are cans or LED lights hung up above the stage pointing directly at us)
it seems to be borne out because I've noticed during soundchecks that the amount of hum is reduced if I'm not facing the lights directly; if I turn a little sideways or all the way around.

but I'm certainly no expert on lights or sound frequencies, and it could be something entirely different. I hope it is, it might have an easier solution.

my setup is simplicity; I generally am just running my acoustic through a DI.

if it is just some 60 cycle hum, how do I filter that out?
