I went out to the shop tested my openers with lights on and lights off. Didn't have an issue at all, at least not apparent with a quick test. I would think your cell phone or WiFi emits more harmful waves. I could be wrong.


interesting older (march 2018) video. Still think the rf interference is low enough that it would be hard to make a difference to a radio receiver. Ballast resisters emit interference also. Think it's a bit over thought. Kind of a unfair test also as the two lights are not the same distance to the meter.

I've had issues with the mentioned opener system. But it is always when it's cold outside. Maybe a track issue. It works flawless in the summer or warm months from the remote and garage switch. When its really cold in jan/mn remote doesn't work and I have to get out and force/hold the switch in the garage.
