On a radio related note, it appears LIGHTBULBS may become a source
of interference for wireless networks.

I recently purchased a pack of the small screw-in fluorescent bulbs and
the package contained a statement to the effect that although they had
been approved by the FCC they may cause interference to radios, wireless
networks, remote controllers etc.

A quick check with a portable HF receiver disclosed that they do indeed
radiate wide spectrum noise, although at a low enough level that I have
not noticed a problem when using an outdoor antenna with co-ax feed.
