Do Led Lights Affect Smart Meters? | 2023
Smart meters and eco friendly technology It was also discovered by a study that smart meters won’t work correctly if you have eco friendly devices fitted such as solar panels, LED light bulbs and dimmers because it can’t record when … Continue reading →
As if it isn't on purpose. Officially, residential users aren't charged for power factor but if they make the meters measure apparent power secretly, that's that much more profit for them
This is literally just a markov bot-generated website with word salads to trick search engines. How about some actual data?
Ive seen this brought up a few times over the year.

This is a good thread about someone trying to figure out whats going on.
Now ive read that there is something technical about how led lights work.

Im not a electrical engineer, so I cant vouch for this information.
But I suspect there is some truth to this. In nova scotia, there is one power company its a monopoly and a criminal run one as well. They replaced everyones meters with smart meters about 10 years ago, then went through and replaced them AGAIN about 5 years later. At least the one where I lived was changed out twice in the span of 5 years.
When I brought this up in r/novascotia, they of course thought I was being delusional. Ive seen a few posts pop up asking why their energy bills started going up after getting a new smart meter installed. Just concidence...

Seems there is some truth to this one as well....
Would not shock me if they got a office space type of code in there, evil fucks. Make a billion in extra profit, get a 100 million dollar fine if they even get caught. Fucking pathetic.
Anything that we can do besides sueing?
No smart crap just dumb LED bulbs.
Thanks for this info. --- And this confounded Electric company Overrode Doctor instructions that we can NOT have that damn "smart"-meter, & have since been pushing & passing out FREE Led-bulbs like they are 'candy'.
Fortunately we became wise to any 1 "gift"ing us anything, outside our circle of family & friends. That also includes the Internet. You would not believe what people calling self a HOLY-christian on social media will do to you, as I found out here. We live in a deeply-dark world.
So when the ban for incandescent passed I actually went out and bought the incandescent bulbs and switched every light in my house from LED to incandescent and to my surprise my electric bill came and it was $154 cheaper....🤔 They tell us that everyone using LEDs will save Americans tons of money but perhaps it is meant to cost us more....
