So I have my shack in the garage and that is lit by 12 or so LED shop lights. Each light unit is made up of 100 or so surface mount LED and the lighting is great BUT these things put out so much RFI across every band that I have to run shack operations in the dark with only an incandescent bulb. I want & need the nice bright shop lights and would rather run LEDs, Does anyone know of some LED shop lights that are RF quiet?

LEDs themselves are quiet but some SMPSs generate RFI. You can find SMPS that is RF quiet, or since LED strips take so little power, you can make a tiny linear power supply for them, linear power supplies don't have RF problems
