- I have 2 LED bulbs (60W incandescent replacement) and have been unable to hear them, which is good. Today I bought 3 more types (at the local Ace, because I can return them if they make noise). So I'

- Hi Greg, I suggest you build a fixture with a bulb socket on one end and an AC plug on the other end so you can light the bulb. Before you put the AC plug on the cord, wrap a toroid (eg FT117-43) ful

- [build current probe] 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: http://www.lexort.com/blog/ama

- 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

- I was surprised when I got the first one. Please note that I said I have other RFI sources; an attic antenna is not a good situation to start with. I had dealt with a number of them, but the base lev

- I just made some light bulb measurements using an RF current probe, an oscilloscope, and a spectrum analyzer. My current probe is flat within 3 dB from 500 kHz to over 50 MHz. The common mode current

- No problems noticed here on HF with either CFLs (many years) or LEDs (more recent), both regular and the dimmables on a dimmer purchased at a big box supplier. Experienced one CFL that became noisy j

- Also, my current probe sensitivity is 30 dB less that the actual power. That is to say if I put 0dBm into a 50 ohm resistor and sample one lead of the circuit, my current probe will show - 30 dBm. So

- A spectrum analyzer is great for this. Most have the sensitivity of a receiver and any noise peaks (in or out of the ham bands) are almost immediately identified Depending on the scope you can view f

- So far, I've replaced about 7 CFLs with 60 to 100 watt equivalent LEDs. Two 120 watt floods in the garage. I just took them off the shelf at Lowe's and Ace. There are natural light and warm white. No
