Cheap Halogens Occasionally Flickering

Checked the lot, I reckon it's the lamps and I'm over-thinking it. The 'flashing' happens independently; i.e. when the lounge light 'flashes' the kitchen doesn't etc.

How has this been checked? You can't be in two rooms at once to see it happen.

I have come across this problem before,
It is usually caused by poor connection between the lamp and base.
these lights produce considerable heat, and the bases run hot
So they deteriorate, this can cause intermittant contact.
the only long term solution is to replace the base and the lamp,
as it usually causes damage to the pins and there coating.
Bases are usually easy to obtain and replace.

Stood in the living room with the door to the kitchen open so both living room and kitchen lights were on view
