Well it goes without saying but you shouldn't modify electronics at the risk of causing unintended consequences. However I saw an explicit warning to purchasers of an LED bulb saying this:
"Caution: Changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment"
Then it goes on to say that it meets FCC part 15 rules, class B, which it should.
Now the question that the warning leads to... What modification are they talking about? What magical modification would make the LED better? Were people making LEDs into broadband noise makers or something, but why now and not with CFL bulbs? Why isn't this warning on other consumer equipment, heck, radio transmitters, CB, FRS, etc., which are more obvious?
