Reply to "Florescent light Replacement"

Regarding RFI of fluorescent vs. LED shop lights, some time ago I replaced my door opener controlled shop light fixture in the garage with an LED light. I purchased the LED light on the large online retailer, and they were NOT the cheapest lights available.   Suddenly I started to have garage door opener problems - I could open the garage door as usual but could not close it unless I was very, very near the door.  I finally tracked it down to the LED light interfering with the door opener signal. I could open the door as usual because the light was off, but once the door was opened the light was on and the signal was degraded. I have Homelink in our cars, which is probably pretty common.   Converting back to the old fluorescent fixture cured the problem.  Obviously not all LED lights are created equal when it comes to RFI.
