OK Sam, The RF noisy LED bulbs were purchased at Home Depot in a special display near the door. Ecosmart™ LED bright white A19 #864 680 for $9.99 ea., 40 watt equivalent, dimmable bulbs using 9 watts of energy. I will continue to use one upstairs well away from my operating table turned off while operating because I like the bulb and the price. I cannot tell while running up and down the stairs myself if the lamp affects the radio at a distance. But if company, or a delivery man, or whoever shows up next I will put them to work turning the lamp off and on whilst I listen to 160m. jim / W1FMR
