??? CFL's are great for makin noise , but so are some of the
import LED's too . I've seen a couple folks that have gotten? a
single AA? or maybe it was a AAA battery holder & solder the
leads to the battery contacts on the caliper ( digital ) &
then double stick tape or some other method of mounting the
battery holder to the caliper . Makes it real easy to remove the
battery . a lot of the cheapo's don't turn off when the power
switch is used , they just go to sleep . I bought my batteries for
these calipers at the Dollar tree for years & years 4 for a
buck . I think their up to the 5 buck mark? for 4 these days .

Hi WAM
Maybe !!!!"
I just changed my roof lamp from a low Watt CFL to "150 W" LED.
I will test to morrow.
Maybe I still can get an old Edison lamp? It will also keep my
workshop warm also? ?

Thanks, you are absolutely correct.
I have all 3: vernier, dial, and digital.
Thanks for "pinching" my ear.

I am more likely to suspect the
calipers than interference.? Especially if they
are the extremely inexpensive ones.

But it would be easy enough to
drive the calipers a distance away from any
electrical transmission source and see if they
magically start working.

I have some of the low-cost digital
calipers and mine have a tendency to skip
sometimes and suddenly be 0.2 or 0.4 inches off
or something) and also?
?
I finally bought two Mitutoyo
digital calipers, 4 inch and 6 inches.? NO
problems - ever.? Yes, they cost a bit.? In the
long run, I think a better value.? I also have
some dial calipers I sometimes use.
?
And just to be pedantic, if it is a
digital caliper, then it is not a vernier.?
Those are two types of calipers.? One has a
digital scale.? The other a vernier (where you
line up physical marks to read accurately).?
Although many people still include the word
"vernier" even if it doesn't fit - even listings
for sale.? You have vernier, dial, and digital.

I can not
work without many "Digital Electronic Vernier
Caliper" in my
workshop.
However,
they are always hiding them self when
I am doing my job.
Lately I
have discovered that they are missing
the numbers on the display.
Both old
and new ones.
Suddenly
the numbers are being negative or
shutting down.
I am
blaming a Comunicacion tower not
far?from the building.
?
Someone's that has a good advice for me?
