===Infrared signals=== Electronic devices operated by [[infrared remote control]] can interpret the infrared light emitted by CFLs as a signal; this may limit the use of CFLs near televisions, radios, remote controls, or [[mobile phone]]s. [[Energy Star]] certified CFLs must meet FCC standards, and so are required to list all known incompatibilities on the package.<ref name=autogenerated1>[http://blogs.consumerreports.org/home/2007/11/cfl-problems.html Can CFLs interfere with electronic equipment?] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101029161424/http://blogs.consumerreports.org/home/2007/11/cfl-problems.html |date=October 29, 2010}} at ConsumerReports.org.
