[GreenKeys] [External] Tip on loops

Sat Oct 5 10:04:07 EDT 2019

So I'm not imagining things.

I thought the primary thrust originally was elimination of the common 
60, 75 and 100 watt incandescent bulbs.  Decorative and appliance lamps 
being excluded.  In the meantime there's an open range assortment of CFL 
and LED substitutes.  Not all of them are friendly to the RF atmosphere.

Originally we were told the CFL would last 10 times longer.  I never 
found that to be the case.

Speaking of RF interference, I've found a LED lamp at Ikea that seems to 
be clean.  At least I can turn it on and not have the local 50kW AM 
station blanks out.  Physically it looks like a 40 watt incandescent. 
It makes a nice desk lamp.  And they are only $1.00 ... a loss leader?
