Several years ago, the light bulb in our Genie Garage Door Opener went out. I replaced it with an LED bulb. Then I started noticing when leaving for work in the morning, that my remote door opener in my truck wouldn't close the door. Thinking that the opener needed to be re-programmed to the door operator, I did that but no change. Then I realized that when I arrived home (door was closed, light off) that the door opened every time I used the remote. A quick check on the Genie Door opener website confirmed that not all LED's were created equal, and the recommended fix was to use a Genie door opener LED bulb. I replaced the bulb with the Genie branded bulb and all of the issues went away. Learning experience.

We had a similar problem in our Newmar motorhome. After I switched the outdoor porch and security fixtures to LED bulbs, the signal coming from the TV antenna would get blocked every time we turned on either of those two lights. We don't use the antenna that often, but it's still a pain, so I switched back to regular bulbs.
