Expect them to be noisy. Noise is radiated (at least) three ways --
from the tubes themselves, from wiring between the controller and the
tube(s), and from power wiring. I've seen advice from the EMC community
that it's possible to shield the fixture with screen wire to kill the
wiring from the tube, and radiation from power wiring can be killed with
a good common mode choke, using the measured data of Appendix One of my
RFI tutorial as winding guidelines.
