100 watt 130 volt rough service bulbs are still being made. They are
considered a "specialty" bulb. Three-way bulbs also escaped the ban.
Halogen equivalents are available.
They are not $0.25 a piece as they were just a few years ago and you'll
really have to search to find any USA made.
That said, I only use incandescent bulbs in a very few places from
supplies bought years ago.
I would pick a name brand LED from a store that allows returns and do my
own tests. If it causes interference you return it with a simple
explanation that it makes my radio buzz or if that doesn't work just say
it "don't work". You'll most likely get an odd look and a refund. Then
you move on. If you find a winner go back and buy a good supply before
they change.
I have 9 LED bulbs in daily use with no noticeable RFI. All came from
Sam's Club and are branded GE from China. None may be dimmed. Three are
in the radio room.

Was there someone who made a list of quiet led bulbs?? I finally used the
last 100w incandescent I had stockpiled so I guess its time to start
switching over.
