Some cheap LEDs do that, not uncommon at all. moving it away from the antenna should help but have come across some that wipe out every radio within 10 meters of the lights.

Too true Marty, some caravanning folk are wondering why their rado/tv reception went south when they fitted led globes to their internal lighting :o
Cheers Gipsy :D although I'm sure somebody will challenge that :lol: even Einstein wasn't certain of his theories.
