Common Reasons Lights Flicker
Flickering can stem from a variety of sources. During diagnostics, we look for causes like:
- Loose or aging lamp sockets and worn fixture components
- Incompatible LED bulbs or dimmers creating instability on the circuit
- Failing switches causing intermittent contact
- Loose neutrals or weak terminations at connections and junctions
- Voltage fluctuations from shared loads or appliances cycling
- Internal driver issues within certain LED lamps
If you notice flickering that worsens, occurs on multiple fixtures, or is paired with heat, buzzing, or a burning smell, stop using the fixture and have a licensed electrician evaluate the circuit.
