So the electromagnetic  expert engineer recommends try before you buy. Try
what? How?
Looks like to make that happen you have to  carry a vhf rig into the store,
wire up the bulb you are interested in, and play with the squelch
(mentioned further in the article).
I'm not seeing that as a viable approach.

An interesting piece from the American Radio Relay League, quoting the
Coast Guard. I'd be a little concerned about the masthead LEDs adjacent to
the VHF antenna.

LED lighting (as with any electronic device) is supposed to be certified as
"Part 15" compliant for spurious emissions, per FCC regulations.
