[Boatanchors] OT: LED High Hats/Noise

[rbethman]

List,

The wife and I just did a complete renovation of the downstairs Den/Shack.

ALL Lighting was replaced with the "High Hats", Can Lighting system, and 
ALL lights are using LED Lighting units.

Even the now resurrected HRO-50-T1 doesn't pick up anything from them.  
It is fed strictly with unshielded 14AWG solid.  (At least for the moment.)

I do NOT have any RFI issues.  (Knock on wood, so far.)
