One Light Flickers When Another Is Switched Off

[Peter Jarvis]

Hi, as the title suggests i have recently replaced a circular fluorescent ceiling light in my bedroom, however the problem is this....

Whenever we turn the fluorescence ceiling light in my bedroom off the wall lights in my living room flicker once, literally just one flicker. No other lights in the bungalow that are on do this just the living room wall lights(led bulbs).

I am stumped, if anyone have any thoughts or ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Peter

It's noise or spikes affecting the dimmers fancy electronics here, a snubber on the other switch would stop it, but I havn't bothered to sort it.

Checked wiring, all ok. Interesting that you mentioned about leds being sensitive to voltage changes.
Only have one lighting circuit (5A) as we live in a bungalow

Oh and no dimmers in the living room

Hi Peter,
I take it this flicker happens when the wall lights are on do they flicker if in the off position as I have been to jobs where the LED GU10's flicker after being switched off. Also, what cap/base are the LED lamps in the wall lights?

Hello, I have a similar issue one bedroom light when on, flashes when adjacent rooms light are switched on and the light in the corridor. Does anyone know what the problem might be? LED ceiling lights in all areas and the bedroom light only flashes when it is on. Thanka for your time and wisdom!

Is the bedroom light on a dimmer?

 

[Nani Lecky]

Thann you for responding. The bedroom affected has a flick light switch, no dimmer. One bedroom adjacent to it has a dimmer, but it flashes when this and other areas switch on. Other areas on flick switch.

Not clear on your nomenclature of switches etc; perhaps you could clarify.

Standard on off switch, you flick to turn on and off ? flick switch, I'm no electrician

So the light that flickers has been dimmed down.
(and responds to interference "spikes" as other lights are flicked on ?)
