[RFI] Cree LED Bulbs?

[Mike Ryan]

I have a neighbor across the street that just installed a $400+ landscaping 
lighting system. These are KILLING me on HF when they turn on at night.  I 
even get noise on 220 and 440 FM from them.  We have changed out the power 
supplies..no help. I am going to try a CAR BATTERY to see what happens. 
That might isolate the problem to the power supply.  But if that doesn't 
work, I guess I will have to try some clip of ferrite blocks.  I wonder if 
these are the same thing you are working with and if so, what's the fix? 
The neighbor has been 'receptive' but I don't want to keep getting in his 
face about it until I am on to the fix  - Mike

I bought some cheap LED bulbs on ebay which range from bad RFI to
horrible RFI.    So while they were cheap (maybe as low as $6), I
recommend staying away from Ebay. They also produce less light than
advertized (the 9 watt bulbs were dimmer than the 7 watt ones I got at
Lowes).  The quality control was terrible.
