LED Bulb - Interferes with Garage door opener!

Having odd problems with a garage door remote?
Take a look at this video, LED bulb vs Garage Wireless.

Found this while looking for troubleshooting my door which decided to stop listing to the remote.
Not on my radar that’s for sure,

And a toroidal transformer has a lower profile than a typical E and I lamination device—easier to fit into a thin remote

I had this problem, switched to the Torchstar bulbs made for garage door openers. Genie makes bulbs also but I only saw 60w-equivalent ones on Amazon.

I had nothing but problems with Liftmaster openers. Finally got rid of them and installed Linear openers. No more problems.

edit… forgot to mention, have cheap dollar store LED bulbs in all three openers

Crappy LED bulbs will definitely give you interference - in fact, the installer of my opener mentioned it in his post-install rundown (he installed the “heavy duty” incandescents, which were 45W and like 200 lumens). My house is all LED and no issues with my RF devices, though.

My parents have a Genie screw-drive opener from before Genie got sold to China, and the thing is rock solid. I’ve been told after the sale, everything went to crap real fast.

i have a chain-drive Genie on a heavy wooden 9ft door that is still working and never had a problem—installed it myself about 35 years ago. Now i’ve probably jinxed myself :zipper_mouth_face:

I've been using the Genie bulbs for garage door openers.

The guy that installed my Genie garage door opener about two years ago told me it was not compatible with LED bulbs but I proved him wrong right away by replacing the CFL bulbs with Ranpo 12W corn bulbs while he was there. I looked on eBay today. Ranpo brand corn bulbs seem to be hard to find in the E27 base and 110V due to supply chain problems. The alternative that I later did was to mount four 20 inch bar lights on the ceiling around the opener and place a 12V converter where the lamp used to be. Ran low voltage (12V DC) wire it to the bar lights. Bar lights are pretty cheap and I got the converter at a second hand store (Goodwill in this case). It lights the garage much better and more evenly. You can get an insert that screws directly into the E-27 socket to power the 12V DC converter.

Corn bulb example (110V out of stock at this time) E27 E14 B22 G9 3W 6W 9W 12W 15W LED Corn Light Bulb SMD 5730 Spotlight Lamp US | eBay
Foxanon version of this bulb E27 E14 5730 SMD LED Corn Bulb Lamp Warm White Light Bright 24-165leds 110/220V | eBay $7.35 for E27, white, 30 LED 12W, 110V
You can still get the bar lights from China where I bought mine but the shipping is much slower even though the price is still dirt cheap 2 bucks each plus $5 for fast shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/353901723536 These are really bright so give much more light than individual bulbs.
