I use them at our Montana home. I have recessed lighting around the
perimeter of the house as we use it as a model and it is lit up at night. I
have read similar disclaimers on other brands. I can't say that I have
detected any noticeable noise and I use lots of them. K0GU warned me about
the possible noise they can create.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] QRN from CFL's ?
CFL = Compact Fluorescent Light
California is thinking of legislating their use:

I love this Q/A from the Westinghouse web site:
Q. When I first used a Compact Fluorescent Lamp, it interfered with my TV.
Why is that?
A. CFL's may interfere with a variety of devices because they use the same
wavelengths. If you find that they interfere, move the CFL away, or plug the
electronic device into another outlet.
I fear this changeover to compact fluorescents is going to happen quickly
over the next few years.
Anyone have personal experience with CFL's as QRN generators ?
