Sorry Rich, I support John's statement about the 3 meters separation distance. After all, you're in control in your own sleeping room. BTW listening radio in the dark is an enlightening experience. If it were your neighbour sleeping that close to your lamp this would have given rise to discussion between you or worse . (if he understood the cause of the interference)
Govenrment regulations were not there to prevent interference under all circumstances, just to regulate the number of complaints that might give rise to legal issues. Or would you sue yourself for operating your bedlamp so close to your AM radio ;<))) I suggest you reinsert your old filament bulb or buy a receiver with external antenna (but keep it away from your neighnours bedlamp ;<)) Regards, Gert Gremmen, (Ing) ce-test, qualified testing =============================================== Web presence http://www.cetest.nl CE-shop http://www.cetest.nl/ce_shop.htm /-/ Compliance testing is our core business /-/ =============================================== >>-----Original Message----- >>From: owner-emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org >>[mailto:owner-emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org]On Behalf Of Rich Nute >>Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 10:09 PM >>To: j...@jmwa.demon.co.uk >>Cc: emc-p...@majordomo.ieee.org >>Subject: Re: EMC-related safety issues >> >> >> >> >> >> >>Hi John: >> >> >>> >I've replaced the incandescent lamp on my bedside >>> >table with a new energy-saving compact flourescent >>> >lamp.
