Normally I wouldn't post something like this here, but the fluorescent lamp I have used for years is dying. It is right above my computer monitor where I do my radio monitoring hobby. So, is LED, fluorescent or incandescent more likely to cause interference with radios? It seems like the ballast on my fluorescent always made a hum. Not a huge deal, but now that I am looking for a replacement, I would rather not have that. Are there any lamps out there these days that have cool accessories? For example, I have seen USB ports for charging devices. Are they a worthwhile addition? Do most have enough USB power at the port to charge a smartphone? I have even seen some that have built in speakers and FM broadcast radios!
Is having a dimmable lamp worthwhile? Are there any that have multiple colors these days? I can sort of see where having both a white and red or white and green LED desk lamp could be handy.
