Re: Flickering lights... any thoughts?

["Alancc" <alan.cc@xxxxxxx>]

I had this in the kitchen with 8 20w downlighters, changed the lamp in
the
one that flickered the most but it still done it, when I checked the
connections between the heat resistant cable from the fitting to the
supply
cable the connector was not tight and had been burning, this was making
all
the other lamps flicker as well.
