No peeping required. Incandescent lamps turn on and off 60 times a
second. Could see it a mile away with a stroboscope.

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.

I don't believe you. The consensus in the ham community is that, as a
rule, the CFLs are not noisy.

Is that the "no-code" ham community or the real folks?

Believe me sir, they are very noisy. Perhaps you should be a little more
resourceful and check your facts before you present them.
Don't ever call someone a liar unless you are capable of deciphering the
truth.
Try it for yourself.

I saw something on the FLN (Fine Living Network) teevee channel this
morning about a $40.00 lamp which uses LED bulbs and it puts out a
bright light.Do those kind of LED lamps cause RFI?

Dave with your Brain a 'stroboscope' is not required.

I started this thread and the lamps I have are damn well noisy, and I
can't return them since they were purchased at Wal-Mart as replacements
as the incandescents burn out. The only offender to top these is the SCR
touch lamp I have by my bed side. China, again! Lucky me, I don't use
that lamp and the shortwave at the same time because it blotto's any AM
under 20 MHz.
My lamps for SWL are now the tubes in my Hammarlund, just enough to tune by.
