Lights Flickering

Question in my bathroom I have two lights and both are on different switches. Now when I turn one of the lights on (they both have two bulbs in them) one of them starts flickering, when I have them turned on the fan in the bedroom starts powering up and down and one of the lights in the bathroom is flickering still. Is this a bad bulb socket or a switch that is bad.

Sounds like a loose connection somewhere. Check and retighten connections and move backstabs to th screws.

Sounds like more than a loose connection if the fan in another room is starting up from a light switch in the bathroom.

Yes, it does. The OP's description of the problem isn't very clear. I am not sure if it was intended to imply that this switch also turns on the fan in the bedroom, but it sounds that way.
