Final Approach
We’ve put LED lights in our bathroom fixture and have a weird problem. There are two fixtures of three bulbs each. In each of the fixtures, the middle socket has a problem. We’ve changed bulbs around and the middle bulb either stays on a short time, flickers and then goes out or doesn’t come on at all. It’s not consistent between bulbs, the same bulb will do different things.
I’ve run through the troubleshooting for common led problems and nothing makes sense. If the polarity was bad, it would never come on. I can’t see heat being a problem if it never comes on.
today it’s likely I will take one of the fixtures down and see if there’s anything weird inside, but I don’t know what weird might look like.
Other than hiring an electrician, thoughts?
