Don't all electronic devices have to meet FCC interference requirements?

I'm upgrading all of my exterior lights to LED.
Hopefully they don't make a bunch of RFI and they'll stay up. |

Don't all electronic devices have to meet FCC interference requirements? I wish that was true. There have been lots of noise problems with grow lights. I have half-a-dozen LED bulbs that I can't turn on while operating because they put out so much noise. The current issue of QST has a long article about micro-inverters on solar systems causing noise. I don't know if these devices were tested before they were accepted, or if they passed a low-standard test. I'm just wondering what the future holds with 125,000 potential noise sources in a concentrated area. ETA: Grow lights LED noise |

The other half cause my noise floor to go from S2 to S9+10. I live in an apartment, so my antennas are closer to the LEDs than they would be if I had land. I have not been able to test the effects of distance on noise level. |

The LED shop lights are noises as well.

If they do cause noise, file a complaint with the FCC, requesting that they are all removed.

How would I check for this?

After extensive testing, I found that the cat only generates significant noise when I step on his tail in the middle of the night.

Your destination AO and my BOL are the same region. Feel free to hit me up if you need local intel. |

Street lights got replaced with LED around here recently, no noise. All of my shack and house lights are LED, no noise. I have a S0 noise floor, so I'd definitely know if something changed. I hope there won't be any impact to you OP. Good luck.

It would take them longer to find a short in the wiring to the whole street, wouldn't it? Just asking! |

Let me know when you get here. I have some land outside of Show Low.

I'm in St. Johns now talking to people about all the things I'm going to need. I'll be here through Friday and then back to St. Louis until late October. I haven't been to Show Low yet, but it's on my plan. |

I monitor the ARA's RIMLINK system when I'm up there. It's on Greens Peak, and has great coverage. When you head to Show Low, stop at the Stanford General Store. It's at the intersection of RT60 and 61. They have a pretty good deli inside.

I'm getting info on building permits, getting a well survey, storage container placement and other new land-owner info. I have the solar panels for electricity and a reasonable battery pack, but I'm looking for solar hot water panels and installation stuff. I am also serious about what if anything needs to be done to have a good radial system in sandy DRY conditions. I'll probably head over to Show Low tomorrow. That seems to be where everything is. ETA: I'm generally on the 2100 net each night. People can't quite figure out how I'm getting into the repeater from St. Louis. I'm telling them that I'm using a 1,500 watt amp and a 50-element log periodic at 300'.
