Metalux (Cooper) light fixtures

[Teikas Dad]

Looking for lights for my shop. Has anyone used the Metalux SNF series commercial narrow striplights? (fluorescent)

They are 8' long, 4 T-8 bulbs. I found them at Lowes and matched up the model number listed as commercial grade on the Cooper website. The Cooper spec sheet lists the fixture with an electronic ballast with a THD <10%.

My primary concern is with regards to using an FM radio in the shop without interference. From what I've read on the board here, a THD <10% should not create interference.

Whatcha think?

I have 8 up and 3 more to go up in my new shop. So far I have no problems, the come on at 10 degrees, and I haven't noticed any fm interference.
But they have only been up 3 weeks, so all I can say is so far so good.

Thanks! That's what I was hoping to hear (no pun intended).
