If a fluorescent light is creating a lot of noise in the radio does this mean it's going bad? Could it cause a fire in that condition? Increased radio noise doesn't indicate the light is going bad. Fluorescent lights, including the energy-saving "bulbs", see to produce a lot of noise. In fact it drowns out some local radio stations. |

Thanks Dale -- Email: I was installing a bunch of CF's (thousands) and found out that they produced 100% harmonics. A few hundred would not have been a problem on that electrical system. We stopped the order and got CF's that were a lot lower in harmonic content. |

Thanks Dale No. Magnetic or electrical fields interfere with AM radio. Make sure the lamp is UL approved. It is possible that any electrical item could cause a fire. Use common sense and check your smoke detectors. |

Flourescents induce noise in electronics, you will never see a
flourescent lamp in a recording studio . My radio and Tv are the same, noise from flourescent lights affects them. |
