[RFI] RFI via Florescent Lights

[Roger (K8RI)]

That would be a complete replacement of fixtures, with full spectrum 
LEDs of 5,000 to 6,000 Lumens per tube, or about 10,000 per fixture.  
I'd like the electrical , but the equivalent of 10,000 Lumens would 
likely be on the expensive side.  I have to replace 22, 8' tubes on the 
average of average of every two years.
It would be nice to not have to do that with long lived LEDs
