What is the cost of those units and how much current does the light fixture now draw?

Did you get any RFI signals from this install - Do you see any interference using these strips in your HDTV, FM Radio, NOAH WX Radio (if used) etc... I installed some leds and had a bunch of RFI signals coming the LEDs. Really bothered my Ham Radio operations... Had to switch to LEDs that didnt include the on-board DC Voltage regulator.

I actually had feedback from the bad ballast that prompted the MOD. It would trigger my slide out to jump. Priced a replacement light was $65 for complete light fixture. Mod was less than $30
When you order be sure to place order for connection to LED and i bought the little double side foam pads as well.
