[Elecraft] OT: LED Light Bulbs

[Terry Schieler]

Apparently correct, Lynn.  I had my garage door serviced two weeks ago and the last thing the repairman did was pop open the frosted plastic bulb cover on the opener and say "just making sure you don't have LED bulbs in here.  They play havoc with the receiver on the openers).  He said most everyone in the garage door industry knows of that problem.  First I had heard of it.

Just saw an ad for Genie LED Bulbs.

Apparently some LED light bulbs make enough noise that they desense the garage door receiver.

These bulbs are specifically low-RFI.

I have no more information.  For all I know, they fix the garage door RFI by moving the noise to 14.300 MHz.
