Hello Group,
My apologies to the group. Pat, WA4TUK, is correct. The Cree "4 Flow" is an LED
lamp. Thank you Pat!
A few thoughts on the comments thus far.
CFL are not designed for intermittent operation. It says so on the package.
They are intended for driveway, porch, applications etc (low cycles) where they
will be on for a few hours before being turned off.
CFL's are not designed for "closed luminaires" e.g., where the lighting fixture
has a frosted glass dome or cover. They also don't do well on ceilings where
heat rises unless it is an open fixture. The little power supplies in the base
of the bulb eventually fail from the heat, so you won't obtain the published
lifetime in hours.
The GE energy smart "Bright from the Start" start off bright, and then once
warmed up, cut their brightness down. Kind of disconcerting at first, but you
get used to it.
The CREE LED bulb is intended for operation between -13F to +113F.
It was a simple test that I performed. I was not only concerned with radiated
RFI, but conducted RFI through the AC mains of the house. Thus, when I found
the GE energy smart bulbs did not radiate, I assumed (unscientifically) that
they were RFI "clean" with conducted emissions as well.
Hope this helps.
73,
