@frantzmommy2 жыл бұрын
Hi Daru. Thanks for the great guide. I had a reno down with several of these installed, a few months ago. One of the wafers is now flickering. Why would this happen? Installed by electrician. Only 1 is flickering. Is this something I can fix myself or do you think I need an electrician to come back out?
@DaruDhillon2 жыл бұрын
Often a single flickering light is the result of a loose connection. I would turn off the breaker. Test that power is off with a voltage tester and open up the junction box. Once opened check that the black and white wires are firmly connected. Push in your connectors again to confirm they are secure. After doing this I would turn the power on to see if the light is working properly. Then I would turn the power off and push the wires carefully back into the junction box. Place the closed box back into the ceiling and reinstall the wafer light. Sometimes people mistakenly shove wires into the box - this can cause a loose connection. If you feel comfortable doing that it’s not a difficult process. If you don’t your electrician should come back and fix it. Any good electrician will come back to fix their work free of charge. I’d start with calling your electrician. I hope that helps Kimberly!
