Hi All,
hoping I can get some guidance here. I called an electrician to come out tomorrow and take a look, but my curious mind can’t rest til I figure this out:
we had a bunch of new LED lights (including the fixture), new dimmer switches, new outlets with USB outputs to sort of modernize the house.
only issue: whenever I plug in my phone upstairs, almost all the lights upstairs flicker exactly one time then go back to normal. Specifically they’re the lights in the hallway and bedrooms. I don’t notice the fluorescent lights flicker, but I’m guessing the LEDs are extra sensitive.
we tried removing the dimmer switches and an electrician came by and replaced the breaker switches at the panel, but no cigar. He also tightened all the screws behind the panel as well as pretty much All outlets and switches.
what gives? The electricians are telling me that we could just rewire the house to put all the lights on their own circuit since they currently share load with the outlets upstairs, but I feel like this isn’t a proper fix since the lights can’t be more than 300W combined. I don’t feel like it’s an overloaded circuit issue.
Anyone have any ideas?
