I've never seen LED's in a home give interference.... but I would use a power line filter. Do you know what amperage you are pulling? Schurter has a really good filter (5500 series) you can use, you just need to know what rating you need. I would guess a 2 amp filter would suit your needs rather well if you are going off of one output. My garage has LED lighting as well, but I would have to have 2 filters due to how it is wired (if that makes sense).
Here's their 2 amp filter, just so you kind of know what I am talking about.... These were effective for fluorescent lighting as well.
I decided to call an electrician about this because of you're saying you've never had the problem and I've also noticed other recent issues. For example, the AC kicking on more often than not effects all the power to the house. The info from the electrician was to wait until the end of the year and see what's happening with the power. The city is currently closing down the alleys and moving all the utilities from the alley to the street. Edison is also at the same time updating the local sub-station. The streets are tore up for new water lines now but he said they're are a lot of problems, mostly temporary as they do the work. Hopefully this is what the problem is about. This was the first I heard of the power lines getting moved to underground. No more loss of power due to fallen trees and limbs will be nice.
My old house had overhead power, and my new house has underground. I concur, it is much better underground. I had a transformer on the pole in my backyard.... had to leave RMP an 8 foot easement in case a transformer blew (which happened a couple times).The only problem with being underground right now is.... mine is all under cement now, LOL.

LOL, Shouldn't be a problem. You just need the VOM probes that say Bobcat on the side.
LOL... yes I would use that a lot. My BIL has one if I need it though.
Right now I am sitting here, trying to get up the energy to go hang my can lights, and wire them up. However, I am finding it very difficult to pry myself out of this recliner.

Well... for my upcoming Wifi project for work, I've already got a winner. Was going to go with Cisco AP's, but the TP Links I just put up are FAR more cost effective. I am very happy with this setup so far, and love that it is EASILY able to be expanded and upgraded.
Just did a chat with one of their agents.... here are the nuts and bolts of the conversation.... I cut all of the little small talk, lol.
So yes, they will review it and see if they feel it is worth that much. I don't think I will have a problem though.... I want 10K - 12K on it. Looking at what some of them are going for, I think it's about right.
I've had my Mustang insured with Hagerty for years and they've been pretty no muss no fuss about everything. Thankfully never had to file a claim but also didn't know about the tools coverage. Might look into that.
ETA: About the only time they want pictures is if you value your car above what they normally recommend. So for mine the agreed value was something like 20k, if I wanted a 30k plan they'd want it appraised. They've always been easy to work with. My grandfather used to insure the classics he restored with them. You also get a magazine with information, and they do or sponsor car shows various places.

Most of the TP Links I've supported have been pretty decent for the price. Only disadvantage is we didn't have centralized management of them like the sonicpoints but they were 1/4-1/2 the price. Had a few of the old ones start going out after about 4 years though. Most of that is (I think) due to the clients not having power management on them and them getting hit a couple times by surges. Never could prove it one way or the other though but watched the power fluctuate when they used large equipment in the shop.
This new stuff is centrally managed. I have not been a TP Link advocate, and always been strictly Linksys/Cisco. I am even enrolled in the Cisco Networking Academy right now, and also manage several of the Meraki (Cisco) AP's for my job. These are every bit as good, and there is no licensing. The Meraki's require licensing, which is just plain stupid - especially for their high cost point. I am doing a 100 mbps EPL, so 300 mbps will be plenty for our needs. The AP's have some of the features you'd only see on the higher end AP's in the past, like multiple SSID's, and 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz capabilities.
EDIT: Reading the literature, it says these AP's are 2.4 Ghz only, but the controller has the option for 5 or 2.4, knowing that these AP's are. I am going to have to mess with it and see if it actually works though.

I put up all 5 can lights (only 4 in this pic) and a heating and A/C register in the ceiling (red). I need to get the insulation all fixed in the ceiling, and I'm ready for sheetrock! I'm stoked.... I just need to find a couple guys to come help me for a couple hours, and this project is done on my end, LOL. Then I need to go find one of the mud crews in one of the new neighborhoods down the street from me.
