Was reading the reviews, some complained they did not help with LED shop style lighting. These will only help with noise generated/emanating from the wiring they are attached to. In LED lighting where the noise is in the fixture and not in the power cord and wiring directly attached to the power cord, they will not work. Basically the ferrite material in the cores (they are not a magnet) absorbs the high frequency energy that cause the interference.
