I have a friend whose lights in their house are playing up, you turn one light on in the kitchen and it flashes on and off then you turn on the other light and the other one goes off, in the bedroom you turn on one light and it`s a dim glow and then turn on the other one or the outside light on the same switch board and the first one becomes bright , there are other lights she said she has issues with, the house is about 45 years old. I`m no sparky and all I could do was check the wiring in the switches and had a good look around in the ceiling for rodent damage.Could it be a bad earth connection ? Thought someone might be able to shed some light :o on the problem . Cheers
