You might just add a 0.05 mf 600V capacitor between the black to ground 
and a 2nd one from white to ground at each light.  Likely the Romex 
comes into the box and the lamp is wire nutted on.  Should be pretty 
easy to figure out how to install a couple of bypass caps.

Before working on this, be sure and kill the breaker to the lamp circuit 
as it will be hot all the time, even with the lamp off.

My problem with stray RF isn¹t the TV or other electronic appliances, but
with the exterior motion sensor lights.  500 Watts on 20 meters turns one
of the three pairs on (always the same one).  Since they are hard-wired
into the house, clip-on ferrite would be hard to do.  I can live with it
if I have to. . . only effect is to scare the wildlife.  But, suggestions,
anyone?
