Flickering lights

[Boomer.....]

I have noticed that some of the lights in my house will occasionally flicker. It is not very noticeable but just enough to **** you off if you are near it. They just do it for a split second, but it happens constantly and is only on certain lights. Anyone know what is going on? I have a Home Shield warranty and am about to call them to get an electrician out here and figure it out.

We have a small laser printer in the computer room that causes the LR lamp to do that momentarily.

So it's probably not something serious?

Could be a bad/going bad breaker.

Isn't Home Shield somewhere around $35 to get looked at/fixed? If so, I'd spend the money and call them in.

Same Lites every time ?

[Boomer.....]

It's only $55, so I still might call them while the warranty is good.


Yes, it is the same lights every time and to my knowledge, it is not every light.

It's not the lights - it's your eyes. Prolly a toomah on your optic nerve or something.

[Boomer.....]

Ah, good. I thought there might be something seriously wrong.

You've got a loose neutral somewhere, probably in the panel box. Could also be on the utility co's side of the meter.
