Had a neighbor who had a problem like that... the funny thing is that it seems
to affect operation even when the bulbs are off! how does that work???

Subject: [RFI] Garage Door RFI
For years I've easily opened my garage door with the car's remote system from
400 ft. away. A few weeks ago I noticed that was no longer possible. Even
from my own driveway it was often hard to open it. I had installed a couple of
11w LED bulbs in the main motor unit. I had no concern, since I have 35 Cree
LED floods in my house that do not create noise beyond a few inches. This was
different. Those bulbs generated noise in the 300Mhz spectrum that interfered
with the reception from the remote. Replacing them with 23w CFL lights solved
the problem. Beware of LED lights in a garage door opener!!!
