UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum - View Single Post - Workshop: LED replacements for flourescent tubes.

A couple of years ago I was looking to replace my 'overbench' fluorescents with compatible LED types and gave up. Nothing seemed right.
So I removed the fittings and replaced them with 'Litetron FT5LED10' units. They are rated at 10 watts per unit and the colour temperature is 4000k so the light is a natural white colour, it's also *very* bright!
RF-wise, I can detect a gentle buzzing if I hold a MW radio up close, but nothing else.
