Thanks for this video. In my case four led bulbs are connected with one switch and recently when I turn on pressing switch one of the bulb out four flickers. I interchanged bulbs but problem is still there. Is it holder of that bulb is faulty or something else?. I don't think, it's falling under your three reasons.
Hi thank you for watching! There are 3 ways this could be happening. The first is like what you mentioned the sockets are faulty. It could be the connections are corroded and loose preventing full contact with the bulb. The best thing to do is just change out the socket. Second is the switch is failing like this video stated. The third is make sure that if you have a dimmer switch that your led bulb is also dimmer compatible 👍🏽😊🙏🏽
Perfect explanation on the "POP" . I replaced a light switch, and had a couple other (same circuit) light's on and with the new switch on, when I turned on the breaker. I heard a pop and was concerned the new switch was bad, but it seems there was too much of a load when I turned on the breaker. Saved me from buying another switch. Thanks!
Thanks for this video. What, in your opinion, can cause smoke coming out of a light switch? (it operates an outdoor one-bulb 150W halogen light). Can it be an over-load on the switch? Thanks!
I hear a little pop in the switch, and a little buzz. The plugs/light in the area in house constantly go on and off randomly. Today I found out I bang a certain section in the wall it will go back on. Is it the section of the wall/wires or the switch?
Thanks for this great video. I have some arcing on a 15 Amp momentary switch I've connected to my Sewage Ejector Pump. I use the switch as a bypass if the float switches get tangled and for general troubleshooting. Unfortunately, I can't find a 120V momentary switch with an Amp rating higher than 15amps. Do you know of any?
I have a similar problem with multibulb fixtures in my bathroom. Installed 2 brand new 4 bulb fixtures above the medicine cabinets in our bathroom. Filled the fixtures with 8 new LED bulbs. Turn on switch and no bulbs lit in fixture closest to switch and 1 brightly lit , 3 dimly lit in the other fixture. Checked all 8 receptacles with multimeter and find correct voltage in each. How can this be?
I have a problem with my kitchen lights. There are six pot lights. When I turn “off” the light switch, I hear popping and crackling sounds. Sorry to emphasize “off” but most videos talk about sounds when lights are turned on. The switch has been replaced, but it didn’t help. Will replacing it with a commercial one fix this issue? Please help!!
I recently added just a new led bulb to my bedroom ceiling I'd say maybe a month ago today I switched it on and heard a buzzing sound firstly the light bulb was slightly flickering then I heard the buzzing my question is is it yhe switch or because of bulb my wiring is old but just a coincidence after changing bulbs this happens any ideas I will get hubby to change bulb first as I'm too 😱
My brother bought a new light bulb for our living room, but when he installed it and tries to turn it on we suddenly heard a pop, so i told him that he should remove the light bulb right away. I saw some burnt parts on the top of the light bulb so now we're skeptical whether if we should still install this light bulb or not. Please help
I removed connections going to the black and white wires. I turned off the switch. Multimeter showed 0 voltage. I made the goof to get the two wires plus one that is a completely different kind of wire. It is bare and yellow. It was screwed on the bulb receptable. What is that wire??? It made a pop! Would you please explain what happened? Now I'm going to wait for an expert to install the new bulb. Thanks in advance. EDIT: There is a fluorescent with a controller that shares the same circuit...
I changed the light switch in one bedroom and it now controls the outlet in the other room. what happened? I move the wires the same way I took them off
Hi, I'm not a lawyer, BUT commone sense would be that you rented the house to be in working condition and not to make repairs on the property that is not legally yours. Unless your contract states that you agree to make repairs as needed. (Even so you would be legally responsability for damages to the property and injuries to others it might cause.) You might check with your local City Attorney's Office. IMO.
I know I could tell that the. Light switch cover filter. Sell extra warm to the touch. And in like your demonstration the switch was not staying all the way down. My stepson came over to replace the switch. And we discovered that the two wires no longer the protective covering over them.
5 minutes of irrelevant nonsense just to get to the point :D Who has 100 lights on one switch or who needs help understanding that if the switch has issues when you play with it then you should stop playing with it? :)

Good lord man I hope your house is still standing. Call an electrician.
Bad contacts inside the switch. Pleasr replace right away
Can it cause fire in the house when you didnt do something about it?

Can a 20-amp light switch be used to replace a 15 amp light switch on a 15-amp circuit? Would that be against code?
your vids are amazing! appreciate the info!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽😊

I had the pop on my ceiling fan switch. The only thing on the switch is the fan, could the fan have given up?

I’m experiencing this on some of my switches
GOOD JOB

Hi! You may need to replace with a new one
Thank you

love it bro❤🎉
I have a question if you can answer. I’m a renter. Who’s supposed to fix it. Landlord or renter?

@@riderhard I fixed it but I just didn’t want to call and them be like wtf lol
ty bro for this vid
I’m glad I could be of help Jose! 🙏🏽😊
What would cause the two light switch wires that connect to the switch to have their coating melted or burned off?
I know I could tell that the. Light switch cover filter. Sell extra warm to the touch. And in like your demonstration the switch was not staying all the way down. My stepson came over to replace the switch. And we discovered that the two wires no longer the protective covering over them.
not to mention an short ha
Thank you 🙏🏽!
No never
That shit
No, never. So, good bye.
