At shortwave frequencies, the lamp itself is too small in relation to a wavelength to radiate very far, unless your shortwave receiving antenna is close to the lamps.

My guess is STP cable or equiv. In a heavier guage will be EMI quiet with 12V on any earth grounded DC should not interfere with DX from a PC PSU.

You need an EMI choke as close to the socket as possible. The wires supplying power to the lamp are acting as transmitting antennas and radiating RFI. This also could include the house wiring in the walls.

And if the black-brick should be poorly shielded (to block outside views of internal 200volt/100nanosecond edges), then that would need the faraday cage.

Does there exist any certified power efficient low EMI lighting? (e.g. more than just generic required regulatory labels on the boxes which may or may not indicate anything about what's actually in the box).

Is there any common solution to fixing or reducing this EMI? Other than throwing all these LEDs away and going back to hot incandescents? (which may or may not be legal in some settings.). Putting a opaque Faraday case around a light bulb makes them useless for lighting.

Slug each line with an RF choke, as close to the source as possible: outputs if a wall wart, inputs if it's in the base. (No good doing one big choke round the whole cable, as this will not address differential-mode RF)

Almost every LED light I've tested (hold an AM or shortwave radio antenna nearby) emits RFI or EMI across a vast frequency range. The EM noise comes either from the base of the bulb, or from some box or wall-wart supplying a DC voltage to the LED fixture.
