As an amateur radio operator, I can hear the RFI generated from that cheap bulb just by looking at it. I upgraded my home from CFL to LED and found out the hard way that cheap IKEA bulbs are not conducive to a radio hobby. Philips Hue and Lifx have been generally much better.
- tigeba 7y agoI recently replaced a bunch of bulbs in my recording studio with LED and it was a huge mistake. They are basically RFI cannons. I removed them after realizing what was going on. I spent a couple of days hunting down a really nasty rogue noise and it ended up being a LIFX bulb I had forgotten about. Now I have to find a huge pile of black market incandescent bulbs...
