Flickering lights - may need some help

Anonymous user 23 February 2024 - 3.15 PM

Hi, During the last week, our lights started flickering for some reason. There is also a 'buzzing' noise coming out of one of the light switches. I'm no expert, and I know we'll have to get it looked at, is there anything I can do in the meantime?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Sounds like a loose connection on the switch. The buzzing noise is more than likely arcing, due to the slack connection. I would recommend not using this switch/ light until the problem has been looked at. Hope this helps!

The thing you can do is call in an electrician-pronto.
