Using LEDs with Chamberlain garage door opener

kenora · 12-14-14, 11:34 AM

I have an unheated garage on my property with two single garage doors. I just installed a HD930EV opener (belt drive, DC motor with battery backup).

The instructions indicate I should only use incandescent or CFL bulbs NOT LEDs as they interfere with the remote controls.

I use the opener lights to illuminate my work space and don't want to burn 200 watts (2 x 100) bulbs in the winter.
The CFLs will not produce enough light in a reasonable time frame in the -20 to -30 garage so I really really want to use LEDs (100 watt equiv) but don't want to mess up the remotes.

Anyone found a way to fix this, are there LEDs that don't give off RFI in the same freq range as the remotes (I assume that's the issue).
