[RFI] LED Bulbs

[Bruce Jungwirth]

LED Bulbs are not a part 18 device. They are a Part 15 device and must
conform to FCC Class B Radiated & Conducted emissions limits if sold to the
general public for home use.

As an added note; I personally oversaw the testing and approval of the 3M
LED Bulbs. They meet FCC class B limits.

This may be a good one to complain about anyway given the broad spectrum 
of interference reported; it will affect broadcast, air to ground 
communications, police, fire and commercial radio reception as well.

FWIW, Part 97 is not where you should look for illumination devices; 
look in Part 18. Harmful interference *is* unlawful.
