Another "data" point on LED bulbs
Yesterday one of the old curly que CFL bulbs started "arcing" at turn on for a
few min in garage door opener and door opener would not operate
from car tx and noisy in car AM radio too.
I had a 10 pack box of Feit Electric 100W Daylight from Costco. ART 1090261 .
Put a couple in - backed out of garage - door would not shut . Unscrewed the
bulb closest to the ant hanging down and door would close with car TX (Bulb on
other side still lit ) Incidentally the day I put these two bulbs in - the door
closed Ok - I went to store - and came home and door started opening as usual
two houses away when I pushed the button - but second day NOPE even with car
sitting at garage door. So there MAY be a time issue ??? I put two 60 watt
incandescents back in and all is normal. (I see on internet a company selling
bulbs that will not kill garage door opener - so this is NOT a new thing .)
FEIT "order nr"
CEOM100/5K/LED/10 (N) (also on bulb)
BULB has ---

I have not made any HF tests - garage door is around 325 mhz or so

The manufacturer is Commercial Electric, the installation instructions state
that it meets FCC class B or at least they had one meet B during compliance
testing.
