Subject - Dimming Lights
mattpal Hi,

We have been in our newly constructed house for a year. I have noticed that some of our lights do not immediately turn off. They take a second or two to dim off (and there are no dimmers installed on them).

This is happening to 3 of our lights in the house. Only two of these are on the same circuit. I have checked the connections on the fixtures and switches, and they are all tight.

Any ideas as to what might be causing this?

thx,

Wirenutz interesting....

what sort of home? stick built? modular? alt construction? are you on a municipal h20 supply? proximty to other homes? proximty to serving xformer?

and most importantly, was your home inspected?

mattpal hi,

its a stick built in a new subdivision. most lots are approx 1/4 acre, so houses are fairly close together. the serving transformer is on the curb right in front of the house.

home was inspected and passed. we are in buncombe county, nc.

thx,
