I've yet to run across a shop type fixture that uses smoothed(filtered DC) here in the US. I would imagine that would kill the efficiency, although I would prefer a less efficient linear DC supply for area's where rf interference is critical. I suppose one could tare into the circuitry and modify the power supply to ones own liking.
