Sometime ago I tracked down some major RF noise on most HF bands that turned out to be caused by an LED grow light. It turns out it's got a crappy/noisy pwr supply. Got another "clean" one that causes no interference. But didn't make sense to add the noisy one to a landfill somewhere cuz of this.
I just added a Wi-Fi-controlled switch in line with its AC cord & when I want to get on air I open the app & turn it off. Or I can talk to my home assistant and tell it to shut off. #HamRadio
