CFL/ zapper problems
It is well-known that CFLs produce
massive amounts of IR radiation..
Many fluorescent lamps do.
I had this problem some years ago with a Sony 8mm VCR.
The reason this problem isn't common is because remote-control receivers
recognize /specific/ pulse sequences, unique for each manufacturer and
product. The probability that a particular fluorescent lamp will emit random
IR bursts that match a particular code is small.
