Sorry, please read my post again. Who said "OCCASIONAL" flicker. This is
constant flickering.

How often do you get a flicker? And of what duration?

It is constant ie all the time it is switched off but only noticable when
it is dark or dusk. The frequency, difficult to say, but certainly many
flashes per second. It doesn't give off anything like enough light to read
by but just switched it off now and I can make out every thing in the room
and that isn't even allowing for my eyes accustomed to the dark.
I should also say that although the light sensitive switches are new in
two rooms the hall way has had one for several years and I never had this
problem until about a year ago which suggests to me that there is
something different about the newer bulbs. The kids managed to smash the
bulb and damage the rose so my first thought was that I rewired the new
rose incorrectly as it started when a new bulb was fitted after the
accident.
I wont even go into the toxicity introduced into the house by accidentilly
breaking them.


Well, you can if you like. It's a valid point, and yet another negative one
that's glossed over by the green mist brigade ...
