LEDs

Found an old thread with a few more recent posts on another forum about the apparent problem that LEDs can cause with garage door operator remotes. Some have discovered that the LEDs when powered can mostly kill the signal from the remotes. It is stated that the LEDs were in fixtures other than the door operator. CFLs appear to not cause that problem.

Recently I bought some LEDs directly from China to use in a ceiling fan here. The price including postage was about half of the price in stores in my area. No light meter here, but these are rather dim considering the claimed wattage. The 9 watt is about equal to a 40 watt incandescent while some other 9 watt LEDs are about equal to a 60 watt. These do all work and look to be well made-- but the light output is puny compared to others. Buyer beware.
