I have posted elsewhere, but this is probably the best place to check this out. I am told that low halogens are BIG generators of noise. Is that really true? On the same note, what about light dimmer

Halogen lights themselves are no problem. But the cheap dimming power supplies are reported to be big trouble. Dimmer switches vary. I have had good luck with modern ones, but older ones can be terri

The problem is not halogen bulbs, but the switching power supplies now used instead of low voltage transformers. Lamp dimmers too are prolific interference sources. As for energy-saving screw-in fluo

The Lutran dimmers sold at Home Depot claim to have RFI suppression. I have about 50 of them in my house and don't notice any RFI problems. _______________________________________________ RFI mailing

As someone mentioned previously, the halogen bulbs themselves are not the issue, its the low voltage switching supplies which accompany them. I have tried several different brands in the various ligh

Same issue here. Despite well-shielded receiving systems and antennas hundreds of feet away from my shack I could not use any of the switching supplies I tried. I went to a conventional transformer.

I just used an old filament transformer. Thanks to the audio-phools that like tube gear there are pages of filament transformers in Mouser's catalog, and of course there are control transformers of

I have experienced the same thing with conventional incandescent pilot lamps. Running them on DC seems to lead to a very short life. Someone once explained the reason, but I forget why. It is some k

The reduction in life of an incandescent lamp when operated on DC versus AC is attributable electromigration, a phenomenon in lamps commonly called "DC notching." With DC applied, the tungsten molecu
