I've used WAC under cabinet 12 volt xenon button lights for years with no trace
of RFI or any other problem.

Subject: Re: [RFI] Under-counter lighting that is quiet?
Mine are about 7 years old and made by Kichler. They use 12 V T-5
incandescent bulbs filled with xenon. They have a switch, well separated
from the bulbs, that yields bright, dim and off. These, at least, are
absolutely quiet. I assume that they run off of a transformer, but I've
never measuered the voltage to the bulbs to know if it's AC or DC. I'll
have to check, but I don't know if there are any restrictions on using
dimmers. Even so, we always use the "dim" position and they make plenty
of light for us.
