[RFI] RFI Digest, Vol 169, Issue 4

[Howard Lester]

Hi Wes,

I hope all’s well back/down there. I would look at one of the Philips LED bulbs. For what it’s worth, I bought one in an A19 style and have no RFI troubles with it. (I tested it against the AM broadcast band with a sensitive radio held within a foot of the bulb. I’m not testing against HF.) Mine’s a so-called warm white at 2700 K, though still may have a bit of a green tinge to it; it’s hard to tell. (Part of its light reflects off a green wall!)

Specifically mine’s a 100 watt equivalent (14.5W actual), 1500 lumens and is non-dimmable. (I wonder if that matters, RFI-wise.) Maybe their 90W+/- equivalent floods won’t produce RFI, either. I got mine at Home Depot.

I've starting to have failures of 90W incandescent floods in recessed cans in my house and am considering LED replacements throughout (26 of them)  Longer life and cost savings are IMHO illusionary; my main interests are not having them catch fire, no RFI, reduced heat generated in the cans and maintaining luminance.  I'm open to suggestions.
