[RFI] LED recessed lighting

[Scott Yost]

Since it might be futile trying to identify an RFI free LED based on another's experience I'll offer a solution I found. 
I retrofitted incandescent lights in my wife's sewing room with these:

These are not can lights, and what's worse I found they produced RFI at the low end of 40 where I spend most of my time. 
But, I found an RFI solution that may help with a noisy LED.
Neither mix 31 or 43 in a common mode choke had an effect on the RFI these bulbs produced. 
But a safety capacitor placed from hot to neutral in the junction box feeding the lights completely eliminated it.
DO NOT USE an ordinary capacitor. Use only a properly rated safety capacitor. 
In my case I used a 0.0022 uF X2 275V metal film capacitor.  One is all it took to silence the entire string.

Does anyone have experience with or can recommend an LED can light that is RFI-friendly? My wife wants recessed lighting in a spare room we’re turning into a “den”. 73 de N3WTK
