Strange experiences with lightbulb at my grandparents.
So this has been going on for a little while now and I’m curious if anyone has any answers or explanations for me because I’m stumped.
So to get into the story. Since probably November whenever I go to my grandparents house this one lightbulb in the kitchens ceiling fan will start flickering. After about 5 minutes of me sitting in the kitchen, sometimes less, this one particular lightbulb will always begin to flicker. This only happens when I’m in the kitchen according to them and the rest of my family. Sometimes during family dinners they will have me sit in the living room for a little bit to make it stop. During Christmas we just removed the bulb entirely.
We have tried everything we can think of, tightening/loosening the bulb, replacing the bulb several times now with no luck, we have even had my uncle who is an electrician look at the ceiling fan and replace the sockets. It keeps happening. At this point it’s just something my grandparents and I deal with while I’m up there, and I don’t sit in the kitchen much anymore.
I would love to hear some explanations or ideas as to why this is happening. At this point I feel like I’ve tried everything I can think of to solve it, but I’m at a complete loss as to why it’s happening and only when I’m in the kitchen. At one point I thought maybe it was the way I walked shaking the bulb or socket to make it flicker so I changed the way I walked and stepped lightly, but that was to no avail. So at this point I’m open to hearing any explanations or suggestions you all might have!
