Light interferes with television reception

I was cleaning the trailer and had the TV on while I was working. My husband came in and switched on all the lights and the TV said weak or no signal. I switched off all the lights and the reception came back. Upon further investigation, I found out it is only with the lights under the locker over the couch. It is also only one channel. Anyone else had this happen?

Is the light an LED type replacement for an incandescent bulb? I've heard some of them will do that, and I have one that will do it in a small Casita I have.

If it is an LED, try moving it to a socket much farther from the TV set.

See if it's one of the two(?) lights by taking one out and trying it. If so look for a loose connection, then switch them to see if it changes sides, if so replace the faulty one.

If its both of them together, check the switch for loose connection. It may be faulty. Does it have a dimmer? Slide it around to see if it changes, maybe the problem.

These two lights aren't attached to the dimmer. I will ask my husband to check for a loose connection. Thanks.
