[QUOTE="galaxy, post: 239456, member: 16209"] from ge lighting,philips say the same,as do virgin tv,which annoys the hell out of me,whats the point of having energy lamps that were told to have to save the world when you cant watch tv,granted its rare as they say but it happens to me...and loads of others..i see a baby boom coming.. :x ge. Can compact fluorescent bulbs create interference with electronic equipment, such as radios? Many electronic devices, such as radios, televisions, wireless telephones, and remote controls, use infrared light to transmit signals. Infrequently, these types of electronic devices accidentally interpret the infrared light coming from a compact fluorescent bulb as a signal, causing the electronic device to temporarily malfunction or stop working. (For example, your television might suddenly change channels.) Fortunately, this only happens when light is produced at the same wavelength as the electronic device signals, which is rare. To reduce the chance of interference, avoid placing compact fluorescent bulbs 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. [/QUOTE]
