[RFI] Replacement For Fluorescent Tubes

I'm not sure what kind of ballasts they were, but a neighbor installed 
LED replacement "tubes", and they created terrible RFI. (OK, they were 
only 50 feet from my RX loop.) I'd recommend just replacing the 
fixtures, but test them for RFI before installing (and keep the 
receipt).  The inevitably Chinese power supplies are highly variable in 
RFI output.
