[Milsurplus] LED Lighting and EMI

[Bob Camp]

Hi

… and the halogens are available in the same light output / size / base combos that you commonly used the old ones for. Unlike the CFL’s you don’t have to worry if they will fit your fixture. The big box stores are happy to sell them to you (at least around here).

However, there are halogen incandescent lamps which meet the new efficiency requirements, have the same color temperature as the old lamps, and last much longer.  Best of all, they cause no EMI problems. They are more expensive than the old lamps, but this may be compensated in the long run by their longer life and lower power consumption...
