[RFI] LED Canless fixtures

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

What I did was to buy one of the fixtures I was interested in from Home 
Depot and try everything I could think of to determine its RFI 
potential, including putting it on a long extension cord and sniffing 
with my portable HF radio.  For $8 or so it seemed like a good 
investment.  I'm going ahead with installing 8-12 of these in my 
basement ceiling =- They are Commercial Electric 1005 591 792, and are 
similarly can-less - in fact the package includes a template for cutting 
a hole in the ceiling sheet-rock, and the fixture then snaps in place 
with two retaining clips - pretty neat.

Oh BTW - the company (importer?)  was totally clueless about what's in 
their fixture - I guessed from the weight that it is at least in part a 
transformer, but when I asked I got a resounding "huh?"
