[RFI] LED Bulbs

[Dale J.]

With all the regulations "since 1920's", why then am I still plagued with a plasma TV next door??  Eight years it's been.  

Am I the responsible person to go to my next door neighbors, inform them they have an illegal TV and demand they get rid of it??  

Kurt, respectfully, you can cite all the rules and regulation etc you want, but the fact of the matter is, we are not protected.  They import (or build it in country) this junk that causes interference and nothing is being done about it, unless I do it myself demanding they get rid of the noise maker, plasma TV and light dimmers.  I ain't gonna do that.  I guess I could relocate as many have already done, being driven away from man made noise.

It's not my job to enforce those regulations, the government entity that is supposed to oversee, don't.  

If these devices don't fall under the part 15 or whatever part, then why aren't new regulations made that do?  It's still up to the government regulate these interference making devices, but…..here we are, light dimmers, plasma tvs, fish tank heaters, dog water dish heaters, hot tub equipment etc.  It's continued to be mfg, sold and used.  Now we have to watch out for the LED lights they'll be in your neighborhood soon.  
  
No oversight, no protection.
