Does this light produce any RFI (radio frequency interuption)? I currently have 10w led lights that come on and the radio gets nothing but static.

The 5w 12Vdc bulbs that I am using do not produce any RF that I can detect, In addition since they run off 12Vdc (I use romex 12 gauge wiring) there should be no circuitry changing the voltage to a higher level since the 12Vdc is adequate to power these LED's. However I have not seen the schematic of these bulbs (probably proprietary) so I am going on my experience with LED's in general.

All Electronic equipment put out RFI. Question is how much. I have LED bulbs similar to this all over my house (about 25 of them)(and various Wattages. My radios are not affected.

Hello,I have not noticed any of this.I use pandora on my phone with no interuption.Very plesed with the lights.Hope this helps.

I use this bulb in my shed and have not experienced any interference with my portable radio or cell phone.

I believe it will. Assuming you are talking about audio static, or "sparkles" in video. But higher quality electronics (stereos, TVs , amps) are better shielded to reduce the effect of static. Of the six I bought, only 2 are still good (one still in the box) from June of last year. Go with the "corn cob" type bulbs instead. I have three of these, 100 watt equivalent, that have worked well since last May on my 12 volt solar system. They are "illumi Projections" lamps from the vendor "Low Voltage and More on Amazon.

I've installed one of these switches with a LED floodlight from Home Depot. The light turns on fine, but when the switch is off, the light blinks about once every 2 seconds, like a flash. Very annoying. (And the directions specifically state to do NOT use with CFLs.) Get the EJ600 to use with LEDs.

I'm trying to find out the same thing. It's weird. Mine detects stations that are very faint yet misses some of the major ones with strong signals. So how do I get those major stations?!? Hello Creative Labs: You're missing some obvious features, so plus update so you'll really be the best.

Led lights only generate a slight amount... I never had any issues and I have them mounted under my kitchen cabinets... Excellent upgrade!!

It is not RF-capable out of the box. Easily fixed by adding the 6160-RF keypad. This is what I run, and it works perfectly.

I have not had that problem.......but have you checked connections. If not a connection problem and radio plays on right side without static, by deduction it might be internal to the iSimple device. You have my best shot....guess. Good luck. David

I agree with Dave. As long as you aren't trying to dim the LED. The receiver is just a remote switch and is not affected by the load unless it is greater than that specified by the receiver.

It's possible they'll help, and they're certainly the cheapest possible fix, but it's unlikely they'll completely take care of the problem. The RF is probably mostly switching noise from the inverter - I'd look at putting an isolation transformer near the AC output of the inverter and shielding the inverter itself as much as you can.

All of these mini florescent bulbs have small ballasts in the base that control the lighting. They can and often do make a buzzing noise. I have 20 of the 45W lamps and only a few buzz slightly after warming up. I usually have music on when I use them, so it's not noticable for me. If the buzzing is really loud to you, then you might have received a defective batch, in which case I would contact the manufacturer.

Nope that's the norm for these lights! check the fuse by the plug first, go to radioshack for new fuses. i had 2 of these lights that pop'ed and sparks came out I contacted the company, they sent me 2 new light heads opened the box 1 st one worked the 2nd one was dead on arrival it never ends with these! Lol so far I have 2 out of three that haven't given me issues in the last 2-3 months

I have only one of these installed but I have not noticed any static or interference related to this bulb.

Each of the Radio Frequency (RF) Receivers I have received (some 7 now) have each been different and have not shown the RF used. One could write the manufacturer and request a batch that used the same RF, but it is not currently accommodated at the retail level.

The lights buzz when they are at a medium level of light. I don't think this is uncommon with LEDs. The buzzing is virtually gone when it is on full power, and very faint when using at the lowest setting (we use it for a night light). I am using the lutron DIVA dimmer the package says it works with.

I'm not sure what you mean by radio interference but once the lights are on they don't flicker ever and stay on. We have our home Wifi above it in our second story and devices connected under the lights in the garage have no issues or signal interference due to the ballast. These seem to be pretty standard equipment for 20+ years in overhead lighting

I never noticed it. I kept an iPad, iPhone, multiple halogen-dimmed lights on within two feet of the unit . . then tried them all off, when I was having the static/hum issue. The static only came from the remote: I'm convinced of that. If you keep the system on when NOT using the audio input, you can detect a very low-level, hum from the Cyber Acoustics system being on and, I assume, "waiting." But it's NOT the static and loud hum I was hearing, when I requested a replacement remote pod. That sound was incredibly loud, harsh, and distracting. This circuit hum is almost undetectable but is present, if you're a hyper sensitive type. My AC kicks in (which is quiet) and completely camouflages this circuit hum, as the sound is so faint. There you go....

The set I insatlled are absolute clean for VHF as well as HF. The other type of LED lamp, which uses a switching type regulator, RFI depends partly on the design and also how physically close the lamp is with respect to the antenna. Since VHF marine is FM and not AM, lamp switching noise appears as "desense" and reduces receiver sensitivity. Best test on LED lamps and RFI is to buy one and "sniff" it with an HT or scanner before changing everything over. No theory beats a real world test.

Mine just arrived yesterday. I measured the idle current with my KillAwatt at 10mA, which is 5 watts. About as much as an incandescent night light bulb.
