There was an informative article by AC4DA in QST on this touch lamp problem
and curing it by putting a filter between the Oscillator and the lamp. I
clipped the article but forgot to date it, however ARRL may be able to help.
I could also copy it and mail it to you.

Also a good cure in an article QST  May 1985, P45  (rf choke on the a/c
leads and the wire to the lamp frame from the circuit board).

The ARRL has this site for touch lamp problems
http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/rfilamps.html .

Good Luck
