The lights in the upstairs of my house (loft conversion) seem rather dodgy.
The loft was converted recently (before i lived in the house) The lights occasionally flicker, others dont notice but im aware of it and it seems to flicker only once evry 15 minutes or so. Its mainly spotlights in use and they dont seem to last as long as id expect. (downstairs circuit not effected)
After checking other posts i read that this can be caused by loose neutrals, ive checked the CU and tracked cables where possible to ensure everything seems securely connected inside joint boxes etc...
At this point i was wondering if maybe a cable was under rated but there is a 1.0mm cable that goes from the CU to a joint box, splits 3 ways to both bedrooms seperately and to the hall. at these points it is connected once again via a joint box to the lights and switches in each area.. if i have described that decently does it sound normal? as you can see ive done a lot of investigating and dont seem to be finding a problem so its annoyin me...
The lighting circuit contains 9 lights and from my calculations shouldnt take anymore than 2 amps although my calculations dont count for much.....
can anyone help me, sorry if that isnt clear enough.
