LED Light Considerations
I'm looking at replace all my RV incandescent light bulbs with LED's but I've read that some LED's will cause interference with some electronics such as televisions. What considerations do I need to b...

What I did recently was to buy one each of 8 different LED lights to test. Half of them do not have regulation, and therefore do not produce any RFI but change brightness with voltage changes. The regulated ones all produced some RFI at a low level. The RFI emissions were all significantly lower that a couple of lights I purchased and rejected a few years ago. Maybe they're getting better on this overall? The RFI is low enough in all of the samples that it doesn't cause a problem with my AM radio reception. I'm surprised to hear about the television interference. Other than the RFI aspect, the light distribution pattern is different with the different lights, the color is different even though they all have the same color spec, and the current draw and light output specs seem to be pulled partially out of thin air. In the end, I chose one regulated and one unregulated type to buy more of.
