Do COB kits cause RFI?

About to invest in a 400w or 600w Vero 29 kit from Timber. I don't want to interfere with my neighbors tv or radio. So will they give off any RFI? Thanks for any info

Interference will come from Switching components ie driver, dimming circuits etc

Now is this while you're in the act of turning the dimmer or is it putting off RFI just because it's hooked up? I ask this because Timber has a dimmer.

yes the dimmer can cause noise through the dim cycle, however it is the relationship with the driver and dimmer that creates possible noise, would not imagine it will create an issue but I dont know the components on timber and whether they have been tested for noise, is possible to add filters

That's not very constructive bro, @ApacheBone has a legit concern and I have wondered this myself.
yes see my serious answer above that. short answer is the extent of a problem is unknown or maybe it doesnt exist. i havent heard of reports of massive emi, and as welight said, there are filters out there if you want to take extra caution
