I'm thinking of geting some better lighting for my office/radio-room so feedback on whether they produce noticeable HF noise would be appreciated.

800-Lux-at-the-workplace is all very well, but not if it comes with accompanying S9+ noise from 1.8 to 50MHz!
I placed my Tecsun PL-606 portable radio (on AM) next to the middle of the lamp. Close up, there was some interference. At about 300mm (1ft) distance away from the lamp, the interference subsided. So at bench distance away from the lamp, I am getting no noticeable disturbance on that radio, on AM.
