Is this problem with electric in my house or it was bulb? It flickered ( black ) for 1 second and its fine. Should i worry? All deviced and pc working ok. My mother turned oven 2 hours ago,maybe something because of that?Bulb flickered 5 minutes ago.

These bulbs start to flicker more often when they are getting to the end of their life, and it will probably soon die completely. In the UK, you are not supposed to throw these out in household rubbish, because they contain mercury, and we have special bins at the local tip / recycling centre, to put them in.

a ok thx

But somebody said this to me:"It appears to be a compact fluorescent bulb. They shouldn't flicker out as they have electronic ballasts but if it's temporarily overloading, the circuit might blink out for a second to cool, but more likely it may be a power wiring issue."

So maybe i have power wiring issue?

My mother turned oven 2 hours before bulb flicker.Maybe because of oven or it was coincedence?

Last question.

Somebody said this to me:
" If it happened once yesterday and has been fine since then, then it's probably not the bulb, just a dip in the power coming to your home as Calliers said. I would expect that It was not the only light in the house that flickered."

But i observed that only in my room bulb flickered.
