Any feedback regarding the RF interference mentioned in some reviews of those Barrina lights? Losing the ability to listen to the radio would be a deal breaker!

This is a legit issue. I rarely listen to the radio, but when I do I stream from phone, laptop, etc. However, I have noticed the garage door opener remote is seeing some interference. Still works, but range is reduced and sometimes have to give it a couple tries before it works when these lights are on. Should clean up with some noise cancelling filters. I will see what I can find.

interesting. the box of these just showed up yesterday. wonder if a ferrite choke will do it? have a box of those.

RF interference from the LED lights has continued to cause a problem with my garage door opener remotes. Due to the way I installed the lights I really couldn't add ferrite chokes (I'm pretty sure that would work) so I started looking for other options such as inline RF filters when I came across this:

This kit is designed to overcome RF interference. I have to say it worked perfect and we are no longer experiencing any issues with the garage door remotes.

I finally picked up some of those Barrina lights. I got the 8 pack and so far I've got 4 of them mounted and tied into the existing wall switch. These things are great! Next to figure out where to put up the other 4.  :thumbs:

And I no longer listed to FM radio any more due to the incessant commercials, so that not an issue. Only internet tunes now
