I use these things in my ceiling fans(3 per fan) only because they give the

The do make a hell of a buzzing noise! Some worse than others of the same
brand. Sure smell when the burn out too.
Anyway what I found was that if I wrap the glass shades on the fan with
aluminum foil (still allows good heat transfer) and ground it to the fan
case.... Voila! The buzzing stops.
Those suckers sure do radiate. I only loose a minimal of light doing this.
Maybe they should come with some kind of screening device/mesh packed in the
package. I really don't think I need the radiation especially from three of
the suckers directly over my head.

People used to whine about how bad Japanese electronics was in the 50's
and 60's. That was mostly jingoism, though, since most Japanese
electronics was as good as US electronics (by the mid 70's, it was
superior). The current crop of Chinese Junk electronics makes ANYTHING
prior to 1980 look positively top notch

Back in the 50's we used to have a store with a "Japanese Junk" section
I could go spend my Coke Bottle money at. These days even a Made in
Japan is a good find. Hell, even made in Taiwan is good.
My experience so far....China====JUNK.
