Wow!...this google is great! It searches for stuff for you? Really? Well I never! ...uh oh....just discovered a problem on this google thingy.... It's not actually that accurate, as when I search for "unhelpful" it didn't come up with your name... Maybe I'll try alta vista instead, or...

...and here it is!!! Taylortwocities, I assume that couldn't sleep last night waiting for update?... Anyway..you are spot on, I have a feed only in this cupboard, it happens to be coming through the wall... and yes, its decorated etc and I don't want to have to install a switch! It was like...

Loose connection = spark = risk of fire As both of your lights are flickering, its more likely to be the light fitting rather than a faulty switch, as they will be part of the same circuit.

Thanks for the idea. But its more of a walk in cupboard, don't think it would look too good. Really don't want to install any type of switch. Don't want any unsightly cables or wires.

Yeah, I saw those but the one I bought, the lead comes in from from the side, and its factory fitted so that you can't get the back off so that I can wire from the rear. I don't want to see any of the wiring. I can't believe that there isn't a simple switched lamp holder that I can attach to...

I'm no expert but sounds like a simple wiring fault. The lights that flicker will no doubt be part of the same circuit. If you feel confident enough, I would start with checking the wiring on each of the flickering ceiling light fittings. If that doesn't help it sounds like a job for a sparky...

Urgh! Was replacing a double socket today and one of the tabs of the dry lining mounting box has lost its thread, so can't screw it back on. The one that works seems to have a metal thread insert, I assume its fallen through the back of the other one. Anyone have any ideas about what I can...

Hi all, I've run into problems replacing an intermediate switch as part of a 3 way lighting circuit. I've tried replacing but i've obviously gone wrong somewhere, and have reinstalled the old one and have confirmed it is working as it should. I have attached the pictures of the old and...
