It is lightning a good bit here. Did my circuit just get hit by lightning? All other lighting is good as far as I can tell.

Doesn’t sound like a lighting issue to me. Make sure they are screwed in all the way

I've had cheap led bulbs in the house start flickering at about a year old.

Thanks, yeah these are Ace lightbulbs. They haven't been changed since I bought this house 6 years ago. I guess it was just coincidence that it happened during the bad lightning.

Try different bulbs. First and second generation led bulbs are notorious for this.

That’s why you should not buy a house built over old Indian burial grounds.

I went from warm white to daylight bulbs and some flicker. What would cause this? Ceiling fans and bathroom vanity lights

Is the fixture only with 2 bulbs or is it 2 out of several.

If it is a fixture with just 2 bulbs and they are both flickering, I would be looking for a loose connection in the wiring either at the switch or the light. It would be odd for both bulbs to be doing that if a 2 bulb fixture.

Cheap led bulbs is my guess. Had the same problems.
