LED Lights

Some LED's effect radio signals, some more than others. Also the radio frequency has something to do with it, if put my radio on the table under the dining room LED can lights in the ceiling most stations are lost completely while a couple of other stations still come in ok. Just move the radio a few feet away so it's not directly under the LED's and all is well. The kitchen can lights are worse in that no radio stations come in and the only thing not affected by those lights seems to be the wireless router. I'm on the laptop in the kitchen right now with the lights on and no problems but if I want the radio on in here the lights get turned off.
I assume the radio signal interference is the problem with the garage door openers. The LED I have in my garage opener is only on after it gets the signal to open the door. Plus the garage opener has an external antenna that ends well away from the opener itself so when I pull into the garage and the LED is on, cause the door just opened, the remote still works and will close the door.

I think it has to do with the opener frequencies also. My old boss was the one talking about this at a recent get together, In those cases a wired wall opener would work but not the wireless.
I have had a Lyman 1200 DPS for about 15 years now. It would have to be re-zeroed frequently when it was near florescent lights but not nearly as much with LED lights.

Panasonic microwave?

Panasonics are known to lack sufficient shielding. They should have spent a few dollars more and incorporated a little Elgiloy shielding.
And no, found this out before I bought a new Panasonic to replace the old Panasonic. The old Panasonics, a decade or more ago, didn't cause the interference.

I saw no point in changing the opener to LED's.............it doesn't stay on long enough for any significant savings. I put four 48" LED shop lights in the new garage. Have five four bulb florescent fixtures that were converted to LED, this Spring, in the main garage.

If you are burning out bulbs to frequently, there is to muich power coming into the house. It will take a fix by the power company to dure the problem. It will also shorten the life of anything with a power cord on it.
