Flickering lights are rarely just an annoying quirk. In most cases they are a symptom of a wiring or connection problem that, if left unaddressed, can develop into a more serious fault over time.
Lights flicker for a range of reasons. A single light flickering is usually a loose bulb or failing fixture. Multiple lights on the same circuit suggest a loose wire connection in a junction box. Whole-home flickering — especially when large appliances start — can indicate a loose main service connection. LED lights that flicker may simply be incompatible with the dimmer switch.
If flickering affects more than one light or one room, or has been happening for more than a few days, schedule an inspection this week. Loose connections get worse over time, not better.
