If this is the wrong group for this question, please excuse me.

I am going to have a kitchen rebuilt, and the contractor is suggesting six
overhead halogen lights. He also has suggested halogen under cabinet
lights. All of these lights would have dimmers installed.

My question..Has anyone ever had these put in, and do they generate much
interference. I know I have a halogen light near my rig and it generates
lots of hash, but the shack is on the third floor and the kitchen on the
first. Any ideas about the QRM?


The problem isn't the lights, the problem is the crappy switching supplies
used to get low voltage to run them.

Ask the contractor if they are using low voltage lights, and if so what
sort of transformer they are using. Make sure they use a standard
transformer and not a switching device.
