Re: Radio Interferance
These light's use HF (about 25khz) to light the lamps more efficently if not grounded well they will emitt RFI and even RFI harmonic's which can interfear with even FM radio's and TV's. check the grounding on each fixture and also they might have to be on another circuit also.

Re: Radio Interferance
Electronic ballast can and do cause these type of problems at times. As Hurk said, there may be some filters that could be installed to help, but I think there should be some investigation into the grounding and neutrals for starters. ( Common Mode and Net Currents)
One simple cause can be associated with travelers of three way switches and EMF if the wiring method does not cancel current, if you look at the "3 Way Switch" thread, you will see this can be the cause (and a whole lot more too
)

Roger?, I deleted your first sentence that referred to the other thread (I just deleted that thread) in order to keep the statement from being confusing. Charlie
