Recently, Ive noticed that every now and again certain lights in my house flicker. Its not a constant flicker, but a quick on then everything goes back to normal, i have notice this in several rooms in my house more notably in the kitchen when i had my main lights, extractor fan and lights, and under cabinet lights all on and one of my main four spot lights started going crazy, after turning off my extractor it stopped.

Any ideas what's causing this?

About a year ago my bathroom flooded and came through the kitchen but a sparky gave it the al clear.

Is your house built on an ancient burial site?

On a serious note! My house does this but only when it's really bad weather. Is yours all the time and on a daily basis?

My bathroom light does this occasionally. Makes it fun sometimes when you're sat on the crapper and the lights start up like a 90s rave.

My downstairs toilet light does the same thing. I think it's the bulb but it's been doing it for 3 years so that possibly might not be the answer.

Problem is Reg that according to reports Fred is now an angry fucker into abusing newbies.  Doubt he'd come on here and lead a ghost hunt!! Hmmm  COYR: Pint

Are you sure it's not just some fat fucker walking around upstairs?

My kitchen lights flicker if the kids are playing on the Wii in the room above.
