Be careful of these, they can cause RFI in the VHF
range. We were working on a noise problem on the
147.06 repeater here in Connecticut a while back and I
noticed interference got worse when doing a
sensitivity test. The noise proved to be external to
the repeater equipment, and it got better when we left
the site. It turned out that the screw in energy
saver lights were causing noise at the input
frequency, but only when the lights were on at the
site.
I've noticed in my travels at work that these light
replacements have become very popular for outdoor
lightning replacement, probably because the light is
on all night and it would be a good energy savings
device. They also last longer than an incandescent
bulb.
BUT, they may be the source of interference that has
been on your repeater.
