Yeah, Jim said he had actual smoke damage from his going up in flames and used a fire extinguisher. Guess I've been lucky over the years.
After finding some brands of CFLs that are don't generate hash across the HF spectrum, I am just starting to experiment with LED replacements as the CFLs die. One trait of the CFLs that I miss in the LEDs is that CFLs take several seconds to come up to full brilliance. I found that much less jarring on the eyes, especially in a darkened room. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: Robert Nobis [mailto:n7...@nobis.net] Sent: Tuesday, February 2, 2016 10:22 AM To: Ron D'Eau Claire Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Noise from LEDs Ron, I have had two CFL’s fail that were well beyond a “puff of smoke”. Both were actually melted and charred black. They were from two different manufacturers. I also have had CFL’s simply quit after a few years, and the base of them was brown from overheating. That is part of the reason why I converted all bulbs in my house to LED. 73 Bob Nobis - N7RJN n7...@nobis.net ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
