just wondering i bought a 120vac halogen lamp(no transformer) do these
bulbs typically put out 'rf' that would interfere w/either my hf rig or my hf/uhf?? If it's a dimmable lamp (triac-type dimmer) it could quite easily put out RF hash which might interfere with HF operations. If it's non-dimmable, I think it's no more likely than an ordinary incandescent fixture to emit RFI. Dimming a halogen bulb is a bad idea, really - it can greatly shorten the life, because the tungsten/halogen scavenging cycle doesn't work well (or at all) at lower filament temperatures. -- Dave Platt AE6EO Hosting the Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |
