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....

Geez, you'd think NMEA manufacturers were using balanced lines, not
grounding one of them....(c;]

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

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.

Would be interesting to see the specs and the switching frequency.


Every one of them switches at an evenly divisible multiple of 156.800
Mhz.....Just like Adler-Barbour damned
fridges...bzzt...bzzt...bzztbzzt....all night long....

They adjust 'em until their dead on Channel 16....


I am thinking about possible sweeping multiple subharmonics.
from multiple lights.

That should clean out the whole HF/VHF spectrum....good show!

Decent manufacturers do, in fact.

There have also been problems confirmed where the switch mode
regulators in some rather expensive LED anchor lights were radiating
directly into the VHF antenna.
