Re: A noisy pilot light !


 

Many years ago when I was still fixing TV's I was called by a senior lady friend

with an interference problem on a UHF channel. There was a strange cross-hatching

that I'd never seen. I told her something in her apartment might be causing it. Turned

off the lights and unplugged stuff in each room individually. Finally, the interference stopped

when I extinguished her dining room chandelier. I turned it back on and the interference re-appeared!

There were maybe 10 or so little bulbs in the fixture. I unscrewed them one at a time and

finally hit pay dirt. Just that one bulb was broadcasting to her TV. Never have seen a

problem like that since.

If those pilot lights were or are not incandescent but LED replacements they would be very noisy on an AC source.
