Can CFLs create interference with electronic equipment, such as radios?
Television Interference (TVI) occurs when components in the ballast generate a magnetic field. This field may interfere with the amplification of the AM component of a received signal when the ballast is in close proximity to the receiver. To reduce the chance of interference, avoid placing CFLs near these kinds of electronic devices. If interference occurs, move the bulb away from the electronic device, or plug either the light fixture or the electronic device into a different outlet. Litetronics light bulbs are engineered to greatly reduce TVI.
