Hi Frank, I suspect that the 60 hertz radio buzz is caused by the breaking of the instantaneous current through the vapor at phase reversals. This sharp waveform would be loaded with high frequency energy. I know for sure that HID bulbs have to be reignited on each current cycle reversal when regulated by a magnetic ballast.

Why do florescent lights make the radio buzz? Older starters and bulbs emitted a lot of RF energy at about 1 mega-hertz. This signal is modulated at 60 HZ. I am interested because: These bulbs contain a heavy slow moving gas mercury and a light fast moving gas helium or other internet. The interaction between the fast and the slow nucleons resembles that between the dissolved deuterium/hydrogen and the metal lattice within cold fusion experiments. The low pressure in the bulbs extends the mean free path of the gas a bit. The product of the frequency and bulb length is one megahertz-meter. Any ideas about the buzzing, where it comes from, and how to enhance it??? Mike Carrol where are you, you would know?? Frank Znidarsic
