3.
The 291-80 (or other Xantech CFL friendly IR receivers) do not have improved operation over the
standard Xantech IR Receivers in the presence of magnetically ballasted (60 Hz) fluorescent
lighting.
You may choose to use the CFL friendly units in most applications anyway, since they will have
superior rejection to other types of IR interference that may exist in the same installation.

The 291-80 will not operate in 2-wire Phantom Power mode.
