UA,

I only use one 60 watt equivalent screw in light bulb in my house.It is
in a light in my kitchen which I never turn off.I dont care anything
about keeping up with the Jonse's.I am much more intelligent than they
are anyway.Elviraaaa,,,,, giddy up,,, giddy up,,, ooom poppa poppa mow

I'm using a few of these and they seem to have a range of about 10 feet,
causing quite a bit of hum on the SW bands.

Gosh. All my antennas are outside. There's so much crap coming up
the power lines from outside I wouldn't think of using an antenna that
wasn't at least 10 feet from the house.

My antenna is outside also with shielded into the house. The interference
from one bulb is very bad.

Technically since the lamp is intended for household use, it should be
FCC Class B certified. If you can hear it from more than about 10
meters away, it probably is not Class B, and consequently probably
should be reported to the FCC.

I had a problem with a 175 watt HID, but that thing was never intended
for residential use (I ultimately fixed it by building a 2 section
low pass filter between the line cord and the ballast assembly). It
had a cutoff at about 500Khz to keep the cap and inductor sizes
reasonable.

I was playin with my Panasonic model RF-708 radio when I was settin on
my porcelain throne the other day.Soon as I brought it (the radio) into
my living room,it started making all kinds of spooky noises.I reckon my
computer and my webtv had it all confused and disconbooberated.

Light bulbs are part 18 (Industrial/Scientific/Medical), not Part 15.
(At least that's what the GE brand ones said on the packaging). They
also said not to use it in a location where there are radios used for
emergency/safety services.

I had some pretty strange results. I'm using one of those 13 watt ones
in my bedside lamp, and the RFI (mostly) went away when I reworked my
power from a rats nest of extention cords to one power strip. Even though
the lamp is closer, electrically, to the shortwave, the interference is
much reduced.

So, interference may be related to the physically construction of the
power wiring.

My antennas are "OUTSIDE" and "NOT NEAR THE HOUSE". These lights still
interfere with reception............spend a buck and find out!!!!!!!!!
