Bathroom light blinking

[uniQ]

Hi,

My bathroom light started blinking recently and they fix after 10-20seconds. But i do hear sparkly noises

I have changed the switch but still the same issue.

Have you changed the lamp recently or is this an old one?
May be the old one is on the way out or the new one is duff.
Other possibility is loose connection in the ceiling fitting. Be sure to isolate before checking.

One of the failure modes of LED lamps.

No this is the same lamp/holder used for more than 5years.

I also tried changing the bulb and get same issue.
Might try a non LED bulb to see if the issue exists on that

I think the connector above the cladding may have become lose

Where are the noises coming from?

I assumed, rightly or wrongly, they were coming from the lamp fitting, hence my suggestion a possible loose connection causing arcing.

Its from the holder (jst above the cladding)
