Need help - Troubleshooting question for any good electrician.
Thanks for looking. While I can do basic electrical work, Its not my profession, so I thought I would seek some information from you professionals out there. Mom and Dad (retired) have a kitchen light that keeps dimming for no reason - even with new bulbs, a standard 60 watt non-floresecent. Its hooked up to a 3 way circut, with 2 switches, one is a "mercury" switch, the other is a regular single throw contact switch. I have checked the wiring for possible shorts. And save for yanking it out of the walls compleatly, I can't see any other reason for the light diming.. I remember a friend telling me about those mercury switches getting old. Nothing else on that electrical circut is effected. I E. The other light does not flicker/dim. Any help/suggestions appreacated. |
