I have the problem of using regulated LED BOARDS in my off-road POPUP setup by causing RFI signals to my HDTV, NOAH WX radio, and Ham radio system when being used. One regulated LED board on would totally wipe out my HDTV and NOAH WX receiver when turned on.
I had to go with the non-regulated LED BOARD types to eliminate the problem. I thought this would be a problem for me as well but have had the $4.99 ebay/china boards installed for around 5-years now. I only have one LED BOARD with three leds out in a roll so far. I am using five LED non-regulated ebay/china boards. I bought several extra boards to replace the failed ones when they got too dim to use. At $4.99 each seemed like an easy way out haha...
I think some smart mode converters may use 15VDC or more for their every 21 hours 15-minute desulfate operations. My PD unit highest DC voltage output is only 14.4VDC. Maybe that is what is saving me from what the other post was dealing with.
It is something to worry about...
