Dale, I think PORTFOLIO is Lowes brand. The other stores may and most
likely do have the same or similar product but under another name. -Mike

Noted. I don't have a Lowes close by, but I do have a Home Depot and
Menards. Next time I'm there I will look for this product and perhaps drop
some suggestions. I do know someone who works in the electrical department
at Menards, he's a ham operator too. I'll pass this information along to
him, minus all the headers etc.
Thanks Mike.

Dale, The brand name is PORTFOLIO, and sold around here at LOWES. The
model number is #0068062. It is called a 'wall wash light'. They are
LED, low voltage 8w draw, with 420 lumens / 3000k. The box says they are
comparable to a 35w halogen floodlight. Very, Very, nasty light fixture.

I'd like to get the numbers of those lights. Post them if you will, mfg
too and where they are sold.
Tnx

Sorry Jim but the power supplies that these lights are connected to are
not always the case. I mentioned in an earlier post here about some 50w
LED lamps which use 12 vot AC, that's AC. The power supply is clean. The
BULBS have switching power supplies of some nature in them. LOEWS has a
line of exterior landscaping lights which will pretty much drive you QRT.
My neighbor has 10 of these in his yard. They are dirty from HF to at
least 440mhz. When his outdoor lights timer goes ON, I am OFF. I'd be
happy to post info on these again should someone care. - Mike

I may have made an unwarranted conclusion, but I assumed the LED were
substituted for halogen without any other changes. I will see if I can
get a clarification on that point. Would a change in bulb types make
any difference in the RFI being generated?

Who would have thought the LED's could radiate so far?
It's not the LEDs, it's the wires (antennas) connected to the switching
power supply for the LEDs. This should come as no surprise to any ham --
switching power supplies are generators of RF trash, that puts RF
current on those wires, and like any other antenna, those wires radiate
the trash.
Thank you VERY much for posting details of part numbers and vendors for
the bad products.
