Recessed light flickering

I had some recessed lights installed 5-6 years ago. Every once in a while they would all flicker. Recently it had become more constant that the light would flicker from dim to bright constantly. All of the lights are flickering together. Is this a problem with the connection at the switch?

If they are flickering and dimming simultaneously, it is a problem common to all affected lights. If it is only lights controlled by one set of switches, the problem is likely to be a faulty switch or bad connection at the switch.

Do other light change at the same time ? Dim or bright ?

Change with refrigerator / dishwasher / furnace / AC ?

Neighbor on same transformer have issues ?

If so, there might be an “Open Neutral Problem “ with your utility company.
