As far as flickering lights, you might have several situations. An electrical problem from the power company is one, but you might try a few things first. Change the bulb. If it continues to flicker after changing, turn it off and check the little tab inside the socket; sometimes it gets smashed down so much there isn't much of a contact - try to pull it up with a small screwdriver (a dental pick is better, but not many people have one). Also, the switch might be at fault; check to see if replacing that would make a difference.

I've noticed flickering lights indoors the last couple of days that are fairly frequent. Electrically speaking nothing has changed recently. The only thing of minor note would be that I changed out an outdoor security light bulb a week or so ago on a dusk til dawn sensored light. Is there a chance that this bulb is working properly (lit) but be somehow defective that it would trigger problems on other circuits (pulling current from other circuits)?
This light flickering happened a few years ago. The electric company came out and did something at the pole which fixed things up at the time. After he left I found a 3" long section of tightly bundled wires that had been cut and I presume replaced or adapted. It was a bunch of colored wires within a black casing. Probably about 3/4"-1" in diameter.
Basically trying to figure out if this is something on my end or their end again.
