Why should a LED and the power conditioning circuits in most LED bulbs
push out any RF?


I tried LED spotlights in the kitchen and they obliterated DAB radio
reception. These were 12 Volts so the current would have been much
higher. I was told the switched mode power supplies were to blame.


That is because DAB radios are pathetic designs that barely work.

Funny that, it worked perfectly well when the 12 Volt LED spots were
switched off. It works perfectly well with mains voltage spotlights.
The one variable in the equation is the 12 Volt spots.
