Noisy LEDs annoy

A press release back in September 2017 by the DARC (the amateur radio club of Germany) announced their concern for a significant increase in environmental RF noise causing interference to radio communications, broadcast radio and even DAB reception. They lay the blame firmly at the door of LED lighting and the widespread use of poorly designed and (RF) noisy LED products. Tests carried out by Elektor on these LED lamps (and also LED lighting strips) confirmed their suspicions. The Federal Network Agency now welcomes our initiative to get you to send in any suspect LED lamp so we can carry out tests on them.
