ARLA/CLUSTER: Lâmpadas de LEDs - Efectivas e eficientes mas emitem muito ruído em RF, segundo o regulador da Nova Zelandia

LED Street lighting – Effective and efficient but watch the noise

The New Zealand communications regulator the RSM warns LED lighting
can produce severe levels of unwanted RF energy

As City and District Councils start replacing existing street lighting
with more cost effective LED equivalents, consideration must be given
to the radio frequency (RF) energy LED’s can emit.  LED lighting can
produce severe levels of unwanted RF energy if the circuitry has not
been designed to minimise RF energy production.  The RF noise created
by a series of lights may be cumulative given their proximity to each
other and their evaluated positions.

LED lighting imported into the New Zealand market must be tested and
comply with the Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS CISPR 15
Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics
of electrical lighting and similar equipment, or EN 55015 Limits and
methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of
electrical lighting and similar equipment.  Each fitting must be
marked with the RCM mark.

Councils should confirm that contracts for the supply of LED lighting
contain these requirements.  It is a legal requirement to supply and
use EMC certified lighting equipment.
