Greg:
Thank you for posting your results. Information about what makes noise
and what is (relatively) quiet is hard to find. I will say I am
surprised. So far I have avoided LED lamps (A19 style) and use a mix of
incandescent and CFL where appropriate.
I would have thought the switching rate would have been in the 100kHz
range with harmonics radiating.

Thanks; that should get me far more accurate data than what I did.
Since sending my earlier note, I made some measurements. I have posted
them at:

The quick summary is that all 5 types I have tested are not detectably
noisy from 160m to 6m, and 3 of 5 cause S1 noise to a 2m receiver with
the antenna just under 1m from the lamp. All in all this is a great
outcome.
