[RFI] Philips Energy Saving Bulbs?

[Jim P]

Eric,

I found similar wording on the actual product brochure from 
Philips which can be found on their website here::

http://www.nam.lighting.philips.com/us/ecatalog/cfl/pdf/p-3754.pdf


  This product complies with Part 18 of the FCC rules.These 
  products may cause interference with radios, cordless 
  telephones, and remote control devices. Interference may 
  cease after a brief 90 second lamp warm-up period. If 
  interference continues, relocate the lamp away from the 
  device or plug into a different outlet.


Hmmm ... "Interference may cease after a brief 90 second 
lamp warm-up period".
