LEDs and radio static
So the latest install of LEDs into my overhead lights is causing some static on weak radio stations. They are the flat type with 24 leds on one side. Very impressed with the brightness about 320 lum b...

You can try foil (copper foil grounded to the chassis would be the most effective), but a lot of times the radiation from switch mode power supplies is magnetic instead of electric, and a thin faraday shield does almost nothing to attenuate a magnetic field. I'm assuming you are complaining about the AM band, and standard AM antennas are especially sensitive to magnetic field interference because they are a coil around a ferrite bar.
Sometimes a ferrite toroid RF choke around the 12v feed wires helps too, in case the noise is actually traveling through the 12v supply rather than being radiated over the air.
