There is actually something to what he said. CFL's, even the newer, quieter
ones, put out RFI. Incandescents do not.

That being said, there will come a time when the change must be made for the
sake of the ecology (and, if not the ecology, then your power bill!).

As soon as the new LED TV's come down in price (doggone are those things
NICE!), I will be replacing our PDP sets with them, and save about 60% on
the cost of watching TV...



I can verify that 110%. I fired up my Hammarlund a few months back and
got a loud buzzing at 60 or 120 Hertz and thought I had a bad filter
cap. I turned off the ceiling light (2 CFL's from China) and it got
better, not great but better. Then I found we had one for a front porch
lite and turned it off and could hear the noise diminish from my radio.
I found a few neighbors with them and asked them if they could turn them
off for 5 minutes and I had just about 5 minutes of good radio.
It does not matter whether it is a $$0.99 unit from Wal-mart or a $5.00
American named unit from Home Depot, they are the same guts.
Until this gutless country tells China they had better control the
noise, and quit putting name brands on junk bulbs it will only get worse.
I have a bicycle headlight that can be shined on the ceiling and provide
plenty of light most of the night.

Not all things are what you hear on television.
