These things interfere BAD with MW even 40 feet away down a level in my 4 level split level house, low to moderate with SW varying on band. Anyone else noticing this? Listening in the dark these days. The cheap imported CFLs don't have a power factor correction circuit which allows all the harmonics into the power lines. I use surplus commercial grade four tube ceiling fixtures with just two lamps (Disconnect the second ballast or put it on a separate switch to give more light with two more tubes.) in my work areas. I got a great deal on them. Nine fixtures were given to me and delivered to my house for free.  They were a couple years old, but in pretty good shape and they arevery quiet, both electrically and mechanically because they are rated for commercial service. |
