I wondered how long it would take before they started selling some RFI
generating lighting. Soon we can have a complete neighborhood of RFI from
just lights. I am sticking with incandescent. I have enough stock to last
the rest of my lifetime.HI. Some years my employer opted to go with some
new high efficiency fluorescent lighting and it blanked every AM radio in
the 5 story building. 73 Mike K4PI

Subject: Topband: Home Depot LED bulb interference.
I bought two LED 40 watt equivalent 110V. light bulbs from Home Depot that
use
only 9 watts of power, for $9.99 ea.
They seemed like a good deal but cause noise interference on 160m and the FM
radio band.
(I did not try other bands.)
I like the bulbs but best use them away from your radio station and have
someone turn them off and on while monitoring your favorite
frequencies/bands.
