I was passing through town last night an found a failing LED streetlamp, one
of the few LED models I've seen. Half of it was flashing about once per
second. I don't have any Ham equipment in my truck yet, so tried to tune on
on my AM radio.
For starters, the truck itself produces so much hash from the fuel pump and
ignition, listening to AM broadcast is impossible. FM is crap, so I have a
satellite receiver.
Despite the noise produced by the truck, this new LED streetlamp produced so
much noise, I could hear it OVER all the internal noise in my vehicle from
over 100' away from the lamp, despite the majority of the LED streetlamp
componenets being in metal, metal pole, metal lamp housing and underground
power.
