[CQ-Contest] Mini-Spiral Flourescent Lights and Amateur Radio

[Paul J. Piercey]

I have been using these bulbs for a few years now without much problem. Now
that the trend is to ban the incandescent bulb in favour of these low-energy
types, will there be an impact on radio in the future? I read the warning
label on a box of bulb one day and it never gave me a warm fuzzy feeling
inside.
 
Has anyone had any issues with them RE: RFI to their receivers? I know that
the older type did cause interference to one of our club stations. Made the
receiver virtually unuseable. Are there any brands that are a problem moreso
than others?
 
Just thought I'd change the subject :)
