LED lights causing radio interference

got 2 new led light for the back of the McCormick a few months ago, whenever I turn them on with the radio it causes so much interference you can’t hear it, it sometimes makes different noises in correlation with the engine revs
I’ve fitted a suppressor today Whitehead made no difference at all
Should I just do away with the lights and start again
Any suggestions

Have you bought an identifiable brand of lights? If the lights cause this much interference / radio noise they are not really fit for purpose (and highly likely they would never pass any EMC regs to be sold within the UK/EU or any other developed country). Therefore they are officially tat.

Surely not from UTV? they always state theres is all sorted for Interference?
I have had my share of various ebay so called bargain led worklights & every single one interferes with
Radio & CB
Even Sparex branded ones that say there FM Radio Noise Free ni on wipe out the CB Radio.
The only ones ive paid top money for & are really worth every penny are the NORDICS
contact Graham Smith on here (Retrofit Parts) buy them once & buy them right end of.

Autofather...hmmm yes that globally reknown brand! ;):LOL:

See what UTV have in your price range. They’ll stand behind their product.

Alternatively I’d recommend Nordic Lights from Redcad @Graham Smith but you would need to up your budget to realistic from unrealistic. Their lights are pretty much top of the pile, I’d argue better than factory fitted Hellas.

The Nordics are poss one of the best aftermarket LED lights available & ive seen plenty.
There also expensive but your buying a quality product here that does what it states & no bull whatsoever
look at the facts on there website & some of the tech info on there diff lights.
there isnt many others who can give you all that info or most anywhere near to be honest.

Once bought some LED lights for house from Light Rabbit - after nearly buying a new radio because it had developed a "fault", it turned out they were the cause! All radios in house were affected!! They knew of problem and even admitted it could even affect radios in neighbouring houses.......I was NOT amused - blinking cowboys!!!

You and I are like the personal advertising ambassadors for Graham and Nordic Lights.

But they are seriously good bits of gear.
