EricM9104 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Haven't gone into the attic.. Every bulb we've put in there does the same thing.

Guest Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) :threadjack: i think i broke a water pipe above my bathroom a few months ago cause it started to leak like 10 minutes after i finished beating :/threadjack: but its probably a bad ground, and it loses whatever little connection to ground it has when it rattles from the sub's Edited October 5, 2008 by Krannyman92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raytard Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 some girls at a local sorrority called me to fix the same thing, hallway dome light flickered if someone ran up the stairs. i took it apart and it looked like one of the soldered on connections to the socket was bad, i kinda just bent it in with a screwdriver and called it a day cuz im too lazy to play electrician in the middle of a friday afternoon, works fine now, no more flickering. if its the kind they had, where its a base and a plastic socket mounted parallel to the cieling where the bulb goes, try wiggling it.

mrwigglezdj Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 lol ghosts.... if you have a decent knowladge of elec then if it does need the wire replaced its not hard to do or expensive, maybe 35-40 dollars for a roll or romex and junction box (if you have to splice into the wire) and shouldnt take but maybe a hour or 2 to complete, but i would do the switch first and then the fixture then the wire when all else fails Quote Americas loudest work van2006 iasca heavyweight bassboxing champion at 150.4 db with 60second average TL8 memphis PR15s,12 memphis PR6.5's coax,4 memphis PR 1inch tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
