    Flickering lights
    :mad: i have some lights that are flickering in the down stairs bath and hall and a small computer room what could be the problem? I think it could be a week braker, or a bad connection. What do you think. Thanks for any help.

    Flickering usually is a bad connection. Start at the panel and insure hot and neutral are both solid. Be careful inside the panel if you aren't on familiar ground. If the connections are good there head downstream and check the first light closest to the panel. I suspect the hot/neutral lines and not a switch since multiple areas are affected.
