Many thanks to all who replied to my query about RFI and LEDs. Very
helpful, as the group on this reflector always is.
I have just one final note, regarding the calculation of energy savings.
There is one variable missing in some of the posts on that subject. I
think it is not economically rational to calculate aggregate returns on an
investment over a life expectancy greater than one¹s own. On the one hand
that philosophy is sort of liberating; on the other; I am no longer laying
down vintage port.
Enough OT. Thanks again for all the replies.
