My wife just wants a basic computer (speed, distance, etc.) on her bike, but her LED headlight is interfering with it. Without going to a "higher-end wireless cyclometer", what options are out there for, say, less than $30? Are wired computers immune to interference from LED lights, or would the wire act as a receiving antenna for the PWM LED radiation?
