I am considering changing my lights over to LEDs but have heard that they cause RFI on amateur radios. Has this problem been resolved and if so which brands are RFI free??
Thank you for all replies in advance. Brad N1VWD -------------------- Brad - N1VWD

Hi Brad,
It is a "catch 22". If you buy led's that do not have a "buck" voltage controller RFI is lower. However, they burn out. damik. Currently the "best lumen for the amp-hour" is tubular fluorescent. Coincidentally they are also the "best bang for the buck". I can't speak to RFI and such fixtures. -------------------- Regards,
