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

Our motorhome has ten fluorescent lamps with 20 tubes in all. Not one time have we had one broken. They work great and last a long time, some as long as 16 years now with no burn out. Very small amounts of current to run them.

Hi John,
You are breaking my heart! I wanted to replace my thin lights with LED's--but not until they burned out, or failed. 16 years?
