Advice ref blinking lights all circuits

[ipf]

I realise that, but thought as no conclusion was reached it may be helpful to resurrect the thread to see if knowledge of this type of problem had improved over the last eighteen months or so.

Plenty of people have come across this sort of problem....and corrected it successfully, generally finding a fault such as one of those already mentioned in the thread.

I cured the flashing in one set by the use of a capacitor across the terminals of one lamp, there was no fault to correct on this particular installation.

But this was general, throughout the house, not one lamp...or one circuit , even.……...anyway, it's all in the past

As far as I understood it started to happen when the OP changed one circuit to LED's from halogen, not generally throughout the house?

You’ve lost me there. Have you read the opening post?

Since I've had a power cut recently , I notice every flicker of my under powered lounge LED lamp.
(some of the more expensive Dimmable Lamps seem to smooth this out !)

I have re-read it and find that I was the one lost, not you, sorry for the miss-understanding.

We all do that sometimes, I wouldn't worry about it.

This is 'capacitive coupling' when a LED will flash or strobe at set intervals, likely every 1-2 seconds. The OP did say their flashes were completely random so unlikely to be the same kind of fault.

The ones I cured would flash at random times, sometimes as much as an hour apart.
