om...
I just got a new ceiling light a big old thing with 8 bulbs and a
transformer, after spending some time moving the hole in the ceiling
so i could fix the light to a joist, i finally got fitted and when i
switch it on it hums quite loudly and flickers, does anyone have any
ideas why this is or should i admit defeat and get in a professional.

The transformer is either buggered, or the lamps you've fitted are the wrong
type, or the whole thing is wired incorrectly.
