I thought this was interesting due to the type of light bulb. LED and CFL lighting has been known to cause RF interference [1], but I wasn&#x27;t aware that it was also possible with incandescent bulbs.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ukqrm.org.uk&#x2F;lighting.php" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ukqrm.org.uk&#x2F;lighting.php</a>

I wish they provided a little more technical details as to what mechanism was responsible for the noise.
