[RFI] RFI via Florescent Lights

I just read a review of this LED fixture and it read " The electronics in
this light are cheap and the light quality is affected by constant
flickering that is worse than a fluorescent bulb".

Would be nice to hear your opinion Tony. Thanks.

Bert, VE3NR

Hi Mike,
I just bought 6 more today.
Commercial Electric
Model 54103161
SKU 1000532467
$39.97 here in NY
Color - 4K
Lumens 3200 
Watts 36

And if you are a vet you get 10% off of that too.
These fixtures are replacing two tube F40CW T12 fixtures

What's this about HD recycling fluorescent bulbs?

N2TK, Tony

Tony,

Would you have the part number for the Home Depot 4" foot LED fixture? I
want to replace the fixtures in my basement.

I guess the Home depot can recycle my old fluorescent bulbs.

Thanks,

Mike N2MS

An easy fix, at least for me was to replace the entire fixture with a Home
Depot 4' Led fixture for $40. It puts out more light than the existing two
40W tube fluorescent fixtures. And no problem putting out bright light in my
garage in cold winter where the standard fluorescent fixtures were very dim.
I have not detected any RF noise in the shack from the Led fixtures.
Anyone want 16 used fluorescent fixtures? :-) 73, N2TK, Tony
