Electrical problem guide

Why are my lights flickering?

Common patterns behind flickering lights and the information that helps an electrician trace the cause.

What to notice

The pattern helps narrow the fault

  • One fitting flickers
  • Several rooms dip together
  • Lights change when a large appliance starts

Note when the problem began, what changed immediately beforehand and whether it is constant or intermittent. Photographs can provide context, but they cannot confirm that equipment is safe.

What we check

A structured professional assessment

  • Lamp, driver and fitting condition
  • Loose or damaged connections
  • Supply voltage and circuit loading

Influx confirms the actual cause on site before recommending repair or replacement work.
