Yeah, but what these cheapskates will pay for doesn't even have a
.01 cap across the power bus.....


Not to mention a decent common mode filter at both ends....

Umm... We are talking about point-of-use power supplies. One at each
LED fixture. It must be physically tiny, and not add exponentially to
the cost of the lamp. Noise is a COMMON issue with LED lighting on
boats.



The noise comes because the lighting is hooked to a big antenna system
called "boat wiring" in a plastic box that can't be shielded or
grounded...unfortunately.

If a man goes way out into the woods all alone and says something,
is it still wrong, even though no woman hears him?
