T&T: Noisy LEDs

[Rich Gano via Trawlers-and-Trawlering]

The three red LED "bulbs" in the forward end of my hardtop's overhead emit
an interfering RF signal requiring me to advance the squelch knob about 20
degrees to lose the noise. I tried the ferrite bead and twisting the power
leads routine, but none of that helped. I had heard the Marine Beam LEDs do
not emit this harmful RF. I can now report that my new Marine Beam LEDs are
noiseless.

Rich, All;

After trying a number of different LED bulbs on Soul Tender, I ended up using Marine Beam and swapped out the others. They are more expensive than some but, in my experience, they make first rate products. Never had a marine beam bulb fail, not even a single led in a bulb.

One time I mistakenly ordered 16 incorrect bulbs - purely my mistake - ugh. One very brief and pleasant call with Jeff and the issue was resolved. 2 days later I had the correct bulbs.

Had some questions about specific applications. Again, knowledgeable and helpful.

Excellent products, knowledgeable staff, easy to work with.

My first choice for marine LED products including an amazing hand held flashlight

No connection other than a very satisfied customer.
