Flickering Ceiling Fixture

[sgduckett]

I'm a single woman. ;-)

I live in an apartment. A few weeks ago the kitchen ceiling light fixture started flickering. I found out by accident that if I turned on the switch next to the kitchen switch (breakfast room) that the flickering stopped. The maintenance guy came out & spent a long time looking for the cause. He replaced both wall switches. He wasn't successful. The next day he brought an electrician with him, replaced the ceiling fixture, tested wires in ceiling, etc. and pronounced it 'fixed' after a couple of hours. This morning it's flickering again.

My question. Is it potentially dangerous in that it could start a fire? I know you can't say with certainty. I just wonder if it's worth having those guys in my place for several hours again. It's not a big deal to me to turn on both switches.

What would you do? Thank you!

What type of light bulbs are they, filament or LED?

LED

You say the maintenance guy replaced both switches, from this I assume the circuit is switched from two positions? have these LED bulbs been installed recently to replace filament bulbs?

induced voltage? snubber time?

That was the direction I was going, but trying to get all the information I could first.

It's a wall box with two switches next to each other. One for the kitchen and the other for the breakfast room. The LED are not new. The fixture was in place for 3+ years with no problem. Just started a few weeks ago.
