Hi guys,
First post here, I hope someone can help identify what may be wrong before I call out a sparky.
Recently I had a ceiling fan/light unit fitted in my bedroom. The bedroom light and fan work fine however whenever the living room lights are operated (either switched on or off) it seems to cause the power to the bedroom ceiling fan/light unit to momentarily stop and flicker for less than a second.
I have double checked the wiring for both the bedroom and living room lights which seem fine. About 8 years ago my entire house was rewired and the lighting circuit for the top floor of my house is connected to the same circuit on the RCD box. This is for about 5 rooms and includes the bedroom and living room.
I currently don’t have a voltmeter to test the current, but today I replaced the ceiling fan with a standard light bulb and found this was NOT affected by the living room light. Also no other room lights seem to be affected by this, nor do they cause the bedroom ceiling fan/light to flicker.
The living room has a standard 58w T8 florescent tube fitted.
Any ideas?
