I recently installed 3 CREE LED units in our home. 1 100W at the
porch (34 feet from shack), 1 30-60-100W 3-way in the living room (30
feet away) and 1 100W in the overhead light in the shack. No RFI at
all, HF, VHF or UHF. I'm happy with them.

FWIW, the "4 Flow" is an LED lamp, and was also hoping the Cree
lamps would be quiet.

too bad the CREE stuff tested poorly, i believe it is even American made ..
Maybe they got some of their RF devices in the bulbs by mistake??.

Subject: [RFI] Low RFI 60w CFL bulb
Hello Group,
A quick post regarding my RFI experience with CFL bulbs.
I recently bought 3 brands of CFL bulbs at the local big-box DIY store for a
nightstand lamp.
I placed my SW portable on the nightstand (about 1.5 feet from bulb) and
listened on 454 KHz, 4, 7, 14, and 21 MHz for RFI.
I heard significant RFI from the Philips EnergySaver Silicone Coating 14w
=60w featuring TuffGuard protection, soft white, shatter resistant, 790
lumens, 2 pack.
I heard significant RFI from the Cree 4Flow, 60w, 2700K, soft white,
dimmable, 815 lumens, single pack.
I heard nil RFI from the GE energy smart, Bright from the Start, 60w uses
15w, 800 lumens, soft white, 2 pack.
Thus, I recommend the GE energy smart, Bright from the Start CFL bulb for
RFI sensitive applications. As always, YMMV.
Hope this helps.
