[DIY] Re: Can 1 circuit affect another circuit?

 

When this happens do you notice some get brighter while others get dimmer? That would be a neutral connection issue either on the street or within your service panel/meter. Are they on different circuits (breakers)? I assumed you mean more than one fixture flickering.
If only 1 circuit flickers, it's in that circuit. Likely the wiring goes from plug to plug/switch and could be a loose connection at any of the plugs on the circuit.
