   hi, i am an ex virgin engineer!

   In addition to their often murky powers of illumination, low-energy light bulbs have been shown to disrupt television remote controls. Scientists have found that the infrared waves given out by some models of the bulbs are almost exactly the same frequency as those from the hand-sets. Sometimes this means the controls fail altogether. On other occasions the channels may be spontaneously switched by the “impostor” rays of the bulbs.

   For the same reason, they can even stop a radio from receiving shortwave programmes.
   hope that helps!
