I just got back from the home center. While there I looked at the 
instructions for a 42 watt (150 watt equivalent) helical compact 
fluorescent (the kind that screws in as a replacement for a regular bulb).

The instructions said that it complies with fcc rules part 18. If it 
causes radio interference it should be moved or the radio should be 
moved. That there may be radiation in the 0.5-30MHz range. And that it 
should not be used in proximity to marine radio equipment.

So my question is: is the sky falling, or is this a non-issue?
