Re: Radio Interference from LED Landing lights

Hi Paul, Very interesting posting, especially the part about not being ICASA passed/rated. Basically, I've had to put my pride in my pocket (not to mention my thriftiness!) and replace the "el cheapos" (if one can call them that!) with proper AvLights. :oops: :(> Really appreciate all the help this ...

I do have a frame "earthed" antennae, from whence I suspect the interference heralds! A D...

Radio Interference from LED Landing lights

Hi Guys, I recently installed 2x10W LED landing indicator lights onto my sons Aquila. Relays (under the engine mount) were used to isolate the power to these lights from the avionics and allied power requirements on the pod. However, when either or both lights are switched on, the radio is rendered ...
