  • Page 7: Interference From Mh And Hps Lights

    INTERFERENCE from MH and HPS LIGHTS Certain grow light models with HID* ballasts that do not use electromagnetic shielding will create an area of radio frequency interference (RFI). This can distort nearby frequency-sensitive components like internet lines and climate sensors. RFI can be emitted from the ballast’s cords or the ballast itself.
