New T8s and radio interference

[NUTTSGT]

So after my thread about some new T8 lights, I anted up and bought three, then bought another. The first three were Lithonias from HD and the fourth was purchased from Menards. They are all 8' tandem strip lights, 4 lamps in each fixture.

I get them wired up, I ran new wire, hard wired them in. Turn them on, I love the new light but now I have radio interference. The wife wonders why I'm a pessimist, nothing ever seems to go right. I tried to move the stereo, no help.

Any suggestions, maybe email Lithonia and complain about the RFI? I did do some searching and that seems to be the best idea yet.


Argh, this drives me nuts.

I went back out to chek a few things. I wanted to make sure all the fixtures were causing it. Funny thing is, it doesn't bother a higher FM station but it does the lower ones.

The ballasts are Accupros, and I went ahead and fired an email off to Lithonia asking them for help.

I have the same lights in my shop and have the same problem.

I just installed 9 Lithonia 8' tandems and have no problem with my radio ... maybe it's because the radio is not on the lighting circuits. ???
