Default Re: "GLOWing" LED light review (no pun intended lol)

Bought 4 more lights today, got 5 of 6 hung so far.

Best as I can describe it:

AND as usual...........there's a catch. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/mad.gif[/img]

Turns out LED lights can cause interference with radios and other electronic devices.

As fate would have it, these lights render my shop stereo useless...unless I want to listen to white noise buzzing while I work. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Haven't tried the garage door remote opener yet. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smirk.gif[/img]

How is it that I always find out about this kind'a [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img] <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">AFTER</span></span> the fact???

I just bought the same LED lights at Menard's. They aren't up yet but I plugged them in and get no noise from my stereo system. Could it be something else?

I moved the stereo today as far away from the LED's as I could, made a big difference but the one light closest to the stereo still makes it buzz a little bit. I'm going to put one of the old fluorescents back up in that spot and move the LED to the other side of the shop, that should suffice for now.

Thinking it may be related to not having 3 prong grounded outlets.
