[Elecraft] Fluorescent RFI solved

Not all FEIT LED's are RFI-free. At the local Red Cross office I tracked down a horrible RFI problem 
to 23 FEIT BR30 13-watt track/flood lights in a nearby business. That business owner returned them 
to Costco for a refund (even though they had been installed for several years) and replaced them 
with Ecosmart lights from Home Depot. Those were RFI-free.

Any time you buy a LED light, you need to test it for RFI before installing it. If you buy a bunch 
of LEDs, test them all. There might be just one that is making RFI, even though they all appear 
identical.
