Lighting up the fog

 "Forget everything else.

Keep hold of this alone and remember it: Each of us lives only now, this brief instant.

The past has been lived already, and the future is impossible to see.

The span we live is small - small as the corner of the earth in which we live it.

Small as even the greatest renown, passed from mouth to mouth by short-lived stick figures, ignorant alike of themselves and those long dead." - Marcus Aurelius

Why do some LED bulbs create radio frequency noise?

A while back, I tried to replace the incandescent bulbs in our garage door openers with LED bulbs. 

I started my next shift and promptly forgot that I'd switched them out - however, the garage doors stopped working with the remote.  My wife was the one who put 2+2 together, and realized that this loss of function was due to my replacing the bulbs.  I switched back to the incandescent bulbs, and the problem vanished.

I then did a little research and learned that this is a pretty common complaint with LED bulbs and garage door remotes.  I've since managed a work-around to get LED lighting, but the problem got me thinking - and back to the title of this post: "Why do LED bulbs create radio frequency noise?".
