Had some new LED tubes fitted in my w/shop today, there ok but my radio doesn't work anymore, just get interference, sparks reckons he's never come across it before.
 
I've got 3 LED tubes in my garage/workshop radio still working fine, would have thought Florrys would cause more interference. :think:

Get an updated sparkie. Many led bulbs put out too much radio interference. It's often a problem with the cheap ones, but price doesn't guarantee anything. It's the built in voltage regulator giving the trouble. On a long led bulb (tube replacement) you even have a longer antennae to radiate the inteference more efficiently into you receiver.

I don't know how much is 'cheap' mine were £28 per tube (Lucky bast*rd, I got them free) and they don't cause radio interference.
