About 20 years ago when I started my first trek on 160M my daughter had one of
these lamps. It destroyed TB and yes it even turned on and off when I
transmitted. I never told her what I suspected and one day she asked me to look
at it.. I decided it must be defective and bought her a brand new high
intensity lamp to read by and she was very happy.. Needless to say I took the
lamp out back when she was not around and took a baseball bat to it.. Never had
the problem again..
Now I suspect your neighbor might be adversed to your taking a baseball bat to
it so some tact is necessary.. Suggest the lamp is a problem and cant be fixed
and maybe they will purchase a new one that is NOT RF actuated.

Topbanders,
A fellow ham has a problem with noise on 160m. The band is unusable due
to noise peaking 9+20 24/7. I think the source is a sensor lamp in his
neighbours house. The neighbour complained about the lamp switching on
and off when Lutz transmits .
I know this has been discussed here, please push me in the right direction.
Thanks.
Martin, DM4iM
