Lights Blink

Recently, my lights will occasionally "blink". Any ideas as to why?

When do they blink? What else is going on, tuning on or off? Which lights: all, just one room, just ceiling lights, just table lamps?

Thought at first it was the a/c kicking on and off, but that is not true. I've added a new swimming pool pump; pulled the breaker on it to see if that was the problem; no good. All the lights in the house blink; maybe it's me but the lights in my bedroom don't seem as bright as they should be. Thanks for the help.

wireing question

E

easywind on Jul 23, 2003

I have a White Westinghouse 8,000 btu ac and the switch craped out. I took it apart and was running the air and the fan from the wires with an alligator clip. Yesterday I decided to put all into a 4" box. I have 4 wires, gray is hot, orange is the fan and blue and yellow runs the ac on low. I am using 2 single pole switches. I spliced 2 wires to the hot, one to each switch, I put the fan wire on one switch and the 2 ac wires on the other, The fan won't come on wired like that. However when I took it off the switch and connected the wire together the fan runs. Both switches are good. Any thoughts on this? It's very wierd to me. I am thinking of putting in another switch in the middle and just connecting the hot so the ac side will not be energized when the fan is running. Thanks any help is appreciated.

Electricity out to shed

S

I have run electricity out to a shed and have about 6 receptacles in place. Right now I am turning the power off and on at the breaker box when I want to go work out there. I want to put a switch inside the door so it's a little more convenient to turn the power on and off. My question is: How do you wire the little switch? I am thinking that you on cut the black wire and connect to the switch and leave the white wire uninterrupted to travel on to the receptacles. The switch would just be used to turn on/off power inside the building. Thanks, Sandy
