Has anyone else been experiencing flickering lights at night?

recently, at night our lights in all rooms dim/flash, not sure if its our electrics or if it is the electricity provider in east dul- anyone else experiencing this?

I have been experiencing this too. Last night and it seems to have started tonight as well. I put it down to power surges or may some water has got into something somewhere.....

Lets hope it doesnt get worse and lead to a powercut.

It's a ghost. For sure.

It's a witch, looking for bottles.

We had some serious flickering on Monday night- off and on for about 2 hours- I thought we were going to have a power cut again. It can only get worse.

the lights flicker all the time in our house. have done ever since we moved in.

Our electrician was colour blind. Don't know if that's got anything to do with it.

Shocking.

We'd but just as badly off in a power cut though, cos then we'd be burning candles, and they flicker too.

If you're experiencing flickering lights regularly, then it would be worthwhile getting your electrics checked. We had been experiencing flickering for several months until one Sunday a few weeks ago. Then we noticed a burning smell...

End result? Fire brigade had to be called, then the electricity supply company, electricity cut off from Sunday evening to Monday evening. Electricity intake (one of the old bakelite types) was on the verge of going on fire. The flickering was due to the faulty intake... Cost a fair bit to replace, but worth every penny.

Your situation might be different, but if you're also experiencing your lights dimming a little or the flickering intensifying noticeably when you turn on equipment which uses a lot of power, then your situation might be similar to ours...

Don't want to be alarmist...but maybe better to be safe than sorry.
