One thing everyone appears to be forgetting. The bulbs will NOT affect opening the garage door because the light doesn't come on untill the door is actuated - and will not affect closing after the light times out.

Makes sense, however, when I pull out of the garage the light is on few a few minutes. I'd have to sit and wait until the light goes out to close it.

Hopefully, newer models don't have the problem.

thanks. I will look at those. I put an LED bulb in the kitchen a year ago, and a week or two ago the FM radio started having something approaching static on one of the strongest FM stations there is here, but not the frequency that receives what I myself transmit.. I don't know why yet.
