I've advanced ignorance of anything electric beyond toggle switches.
Want nothing but led lighting on my Ariel. Don't believe there is an alternative.
Led seems to be where we are headed. Soon other forms of making light by wire will be obsolete.
Maybe the VHF has to change?
Does it look like this is happening?
What other choices for communication is happening?
Is it wiring that causes the problem or only the diodes or both?
Is there a way of shielding or containing the led switching chips from broadcasting RFI?
Lead shielding. Potting. Isolating ideas.
Source for CE certirfied products and lighting? Are these really protected with a 3cent capacitor?
My house is 100% led - so there are dozens of transformers everywhere - phones and media reception seems unaffected. But often have to step outside to answer cellphone. House has a metal roof.
Is there an RFI clean way to install marine wire and toys?
Should I even bother to run coax in the mast to a VHFantenna?

Just went to a marine led site. (MarinePro) They sell Hella, Imtra, AquaSignal, Lalizas bulbs (all European, I presume)
No mention of CE (RFI) protection.
Why wouldn't CE certified be a selling point in this country?
These are of course 'replacement' blubs, se maybe they're Made In China? Another bloody caveat emptor, damit!
