The work-around is to not by cheap wireless computers. Wired or GPS/ANT+ computers only. For wireless computers, you need a digital signal to eliminate electronic interference.
All LED lights emit a lot of electronic "fuzz" due to PWM control for adjusting the brightness. You probably didn't realize, it but usually you won't get interference if the light is set to maximum brightness. The more powerful the light, the more likely it is to cause interference since the switching currents are higher.
