radio interference with LED bulbs

[MBE Contracting]

Is anyone having problems with interference on FM & digital radios when installing high power LED bulbs. I have just premoted some 6 watt gu 10 high power LED's from the LED lighting company to a customer on the basis that they are the future only to discover that they loose reception on there digital radio when the lights are switched on. I contacted the supplier and finally got them to admit that there is a problem, however they cannot offer a solution to the problem. Just wondered if anyone else is having this problem. Maybe the great green revolution could be put on hold with this revelation????

Did they just say yes we know but are doing bugger all to stop it happening? Not being that electronically minded to be honest but would it not be possible to fit some sort of supression to them.

That might be possible but as you probably know the lamps are expensive enough.

I was thinking to be honest the company should, or at least be looking into it, Just love their attitude yes we know there is a problem but we are still selling them.

I doubt you have anything in writing though but would love to report these to trading standards.
