Rick,
Some light sets run from LV switching mode PS's These are notorious.
Some fixtures use noisy electronic ballasts. Your solution will require
making any sources quieter, decoupling them from radiating wires, or both.
Do be aware that whatever fixes we can come up with, the owner is compelled
to follow local and national building, electrical and fire codes, and to
use only electrical equipment recognized and marked as safe by a nationally
recognized test laboratory such as UL, ETSI, or one of a number of others.
A number of fluorescent lights and fixtures have been recalled, and while
it's unlikely your interference is caused by one such, you may want to
