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? dxAce Michigan USA |

" I don't believe you. The consensus in the ham community is that, as a
rule, the CFLs are not noisy. There ARE some that DO make noise, but they are an aberration. That's why we buy things where we can return them if we don't like them." 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. "dave" wrote in message ...

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? cuhulin |

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. Bill Baka |
