How true!! I tested a "LED Garage Light", of course, from China bought
on Amazon. It measured some 30 dB over the FCC specification for radiated
emissions. Conducted emissions were even worse! Need I write more??!!
It was loaned to me for a test as when it was on it wiped out the wife's
listening to FM radio. AM radio was absolutely hopeless, even for local
strong stations. FCC doesn't give a rip (Or maybe that should be "RIP").
