Hi all, just joined the forum, have a weird problem, wondering if I could get some ideas.

We built our house about 6 years ago. The downstairs was professionally wired, I wired the upstairs, when I finished that part of the house. All our ceiling lights are LED's.

A while back, one of the ceiling lights in our kitchen started flickering, and would occasionally just go out. More recently, so did the one in our mud room. I bought some new LED fixtures. When I replaced the flickering light in our kitchen, a different light started to flicker, and as I write, a third light in our kitchen ceiling, which has never had any problems is out.

I'm not really even sure where to start, on trying to diagnose this. The wiring is all 12/3, and connections appear to be fine. One of my daughters tells me there there's been a light flickering in her upstairs bedroom for a while, too. So apparently, it's an issue both in the stuff I wired, and the stuff the electrical sub wired, when we built the house.

How would you tackle figuring this out? Is there other info I haven't provided, that would be helpful?

Replace lights. Problem solved - for another 6 years, maybe.

So how could replacing one light cause a different one to start flickering? The lights are wired in parallel--I forgot to mention that in my original post.
