    Flickering lights (am I using the correct thickness of wire?)

    Using a tuturial from a college lecturer, I've installed 2 way lights in our hallway. The cable I've used is 1mm lighting flex (2 core). The process I've used is taking the power to the switch. So I've used the permanent line from a neighbouring switch (4 gang) and connecting this to L2 where it...

    Flickering LED Bulbs

    Hi, hopefully this is a quick one, in my new house I inherited a bathroom mirror with 4 small bulbs in it. This is hard wired to the main lightswitch. When I first turned it on with new LED Bulbs I found that they were flickering. I took the mirror off the wall to see how they were wired. It...

    Dimmable LED flickering

    I have 9 led strips fitted to a bookcase which is operated by an LED dimmer switch. The lights all turn on, off and dim, but after they have been on a few minutes 3 of the lights begin flickering constantly. Is this an issue with the lights or the dimmer switch? Thanks

    flickering lights/ burning wire smell

    Figure I'd ask here for advice. House was built in the 70s. Recently I was running the dishwasher and noticed the lights in the kitchen flicker and smelled a burning wire smell. So I stopped the dishwasher but the lights continued to flicker for a while. I've narrowed the flickering down to the...

    Hi all. I have a few issues: - I bought an LED spotlight which is 50w (Input power 7.8w) 240v, but it flickers when I turn the lights on.

    Light fixture is flickering

    The light fixture in one of my rooms has randomly started flickering after about 20 years of use. I tried 8 different bulbs and the flickering doesn't go away so I think it has something to do with the wiring of the light. I took it down and saw this: I think the loose wire at the top was...

    Light flickering

    We recently replaced a ceiling fan with light in our spare bedroom. Tonight when we went to turn the spare room light on the light (either lamp or ceiling fan) flickered in the master bedroom. Is this dangerous? Could something have been installed wrong?

    DIY I replaced my light switch and only one light is flickering

    Before replacing anything I had already been having issues with my light bulbs. Even after installing brand new ones the lights would start flickering after a couple of weeks, randomly going out for days at a time and then randomly turning back on. This has been happening for well over a year...

    LED downlights flickering, then glowing/dead

They run off a single 1.5mm twin and earth from the consumer unit with no dimmers, all installed method A. Permanent lives at each switch, with a radial circuit off that to make a...

    Flickering lights

    House is under two years old. Builder grade fixture would strobe faintly and intermittently. I replaced it with a ceiling fan with a light kit. Fan and light are on different switches. Light still has a faint strobe that lasts for 2-3 seconds about every 20-30 minutes. The same as the builder...

We have a small home, just moved in and noticing that 24 hours a day, once about every minute, ALL the lights in the house flicker at a pretty fast rate for about 10-15 seconds. It repeats this cycle 24 hours...

    flickering and brown outs

    This is in my home and none of my neighbors have this issue. Two of us get power from the same wire coming from one electrical pole. He says he don't have this issue either, but I must consider that maybe he just don't notice. Occasionally (like once or a few times a day) lights flicker and/or...

    Dimming without flickering

    I am looking for a good way to dim incandescent lightbulbs. I do not want the normal Triac dimmers that you buy at the store that work by cutting the duty phase. These cause flickering, cause humming, reduce the lifespan of the bulb, and do not dim below a high threshold. I also do not want...

    LED Lights flickering, Harmonics Issue?

    First post on here, but i'm honesty at my wits end! I installed four Lutron in-line dimmers about 9 months ago, all on the same new lighting circuit. Last week the client rang to say that there had been a power cut locally, and when the power was restored, all his Lutron dimmed circuits were...
