LED street lights raise RF pollution fears

ABC TV News report on fears in Toledo, Ohio, that the installation new LED street lights will generate considerable RF pollution and interference

“The Universe is full of noise,” Mike Kehr WA8SYD, an instructor for amateur radio licensing, said. “When you turn the radio on and hear that it has sound and there’s no signal there, that’s the noise of the universe.”

The noise that the amateur radio community is concerned about is LED lights.

Kehr says the lights make a lot of electrical radio noise and, “that noise can rise to the level of actual interference.”
