I went to the Cree Web page where I found the below link:

The link does NOT go to a FAQ on RFI.

Drilling down and clicking on another link http://www.cree.com/lighting/document-library , I waited a couple of minutes and gave up without a connection.

Elsewhere, at http://www.energystar.gov/products/specs/sites/products/files/CREE_0.pdf I find a letter from Cree indicating that they did not agree with the EPA that refernence to FCC compliance should be removed from their documention (signed byTim Henning, Specialized Testing Manager | ENERGY STAR Program Manager) and a document at http://www.cree.com/~/media/Files/Cree/LED%20Components%20and%20Modules/XLamp/XLamp%20Reference%20Designs/XLampXPE_MR16_Ref.pdf does include the following statement:

*electromagnetic and radio **Must meet appropriate **FCC**requirements for consumer use (FCC 47 CFR Part 15)****
****frequency interference***

Poking around a bit more... are these lights DIMMABLE?

*/Lumenpulse receives US patent on technology that converts analog to digital signals allowing lighting control over AC power lines/ *

/Lumenpulse receives US patent /

/The patent, the first of seven pending for the company's Lumentalk^(TM) technology, provides a method of intuitively reading a traditional analog TRIAC dimmer in a digital fashion, which enables digital control of LED lighting over existing AC power lines, to maximize cost and energy savings. //

From Lumenpulse:
"With Lumentalk technology, LED fixtures can be dimmed and controlled over existing power lines. It works with any control or dimming standard (Triac, ELV, 0-10V, DALI, or DMX), AC voltage (100VAC - 277VAC), and operates within frequency bands allocated by worldwide regulations (FCC, CENELEC, ARIB)."

As if we didn't have enough trouble.
