    Advice ref blinking lights all circuits

    Hi, Yes, the problem occured while the recording device was installed. It was left on for 8 days. It was a Fluke device of some description, though couldn't tell you what. They said it would record voltage fluctuations. I will try to take some photos over the weekend. I'm thinking of...

    I should say that it has been noticeable on LED GU10 bulbs, and also on the old energy saver types (not LED - the ones that looked like small tubes in a loop). It was just more noticeable on the filament type bayonet bulbs. I’ve replaced all them filament types with LED bayonets now and it’s no...

    Hi there. It’s hard to answer with specifics. I’ve noticed it pretty much daily - at different times of day and no real set interval between. The dimming itself is almost like a blink. It’s not what I’d call a flicker - it’s more a flash. Imagine looking at a light and blinking while doing so...

    I've spoken with them again and managed to get them to agree to return next Thursday. I don't want to speak ill of them - they have done work for us previously at a property we lived at before and that went well - in fact a similar job to this one with a fuse board swap out. We were also...

    Thanks for all the responses so far. One question I have is around the safety of using the electrics while this is going on. The electricians have said they cannot come back to do a proper inspection until after Easter, and I've booked them in for the Thursday of that week - so, 3 weeks...

    Hi, thanks for the reply. They are fed from 2 MCBs. One for upstairs and one for downstairs. As I understood it (I was at work while the work took place, my wife was home), when they connected it all up the lights kept tripping upstairs - so the options we were given were to leave the...

    Indeed they had RCD tripping issues. They returned the following day with the intention of running a new cable from the board under the stairs up to the attic space above the light in the hallway. When they were seeking the easiest route to run the cable, they found the old cable that had been...

    Thanks for all the replies everyone - really appreciate it. I've just called to arrange a return visit from the electricians for a couple of weeks time - they are going to check all the connections and busbars again and also investigate the neutral that they took that existing cable for -...

    Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes, they checked the tightness of everything and I stood over them while they did it. In fairness, they've been very good, but seem stumped as to what the issue can be. Yes, we have received the EIR paperwork and certificates. This wasn't happening prior to the...

    Hi there, I should start by saying I am not an electrician, but am after some advice as we have a problem that we aren’t getting any answers on. In January, we had a new fuse board installed to replace an old edition one. This is a recent Wylex model with circuit breakers. The electricians...
