So in broadcasting, the old chestnut is "they brought the house down" Well, that happened in the studio this week.
 No one was hurt, no equipment damage, and this gives us a reason to replace the florescent light fixtures with donated track lighting.

Fortunately the room was unoccupied when the ceiling came down.
What we determined was the fixtures were not fastened to the structure, just the drywall. Crack started at the anchor, and gravity did the rest....

Ceiling is fixed, waiting for paint.
So some good is coming out of this fiasco...
....We had a bunch of lighting tracks and heads donated - Met with the electrician to discuss the new light fixtures and "flying" the track at 8 foot, vs the 10 foot finished ceiling height.
Original lamps are MR-16 halogen, replacing them with GE 4.5-Watt LED lamps.

Won't LED lamps cause RF interference?

Won't LED lamps cause RF interference? The Amazon MR-16 LED I bought for my house were broadband noise factories. The OEM GE lamp modules purchased to replace them have worked out so far. If it turns out to be an issue in the studio, reverting to halogen is still an option.I'm actually more concerned about the newer lighting heads as they have switch mode power supplies, rather than the transformer in the older versions

Good to replace the lighting with LED lights as the florescent lights are the worst for interference.
