  1. Would This Be Legal? by suwalski · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Assuming such lighting causes severe interference tothe 2.4 GHz band, would some government organizationg (FCC or whatever) not regulate this? I would think that I could not produce a product that causes interference to these devices without registration/approval from the right regulation boards.
