Signs You Need To Repair a Light Fixture


If you’re aware of the early warning signs that you need to repair a light fixture, the problem can often be solved faster and easier. Call our team of experts for professional lighting repair if you notice any of these warning signs:

  • Humming or buzzing sounds from a light fixture, wires, or light switch.
  • A burning smell or fishy odor.
  • Excess heat when a light fixture is on, or a fixture or switch that is hot to the touch.
  • Signs of burn or scorch marks on a switch, outlet, or light fixture.
  • Lights that keep flickering or dimming, especially when using other electrical devices or appliances.
  • Wiring that appears damaged, frayed, old, or outdated.
  • Light bulbs that burn out frequently.
  • Broken or damaged parts.
  • A light fixture or switch that no longer works or only works intermittently.
  • Rusted or corroded fixtures.
  • An electric shock when flipping a switch, using a plug, or turning on a light.
  • Sparks or arcs from the fixture, outlet, or switch.

Troubleshooting Faulty Light Fixtures

You can try to troubleshoot faulty light fixtures before calling us for an inspection or repair of lighting systems. If a light won’t turn on at all, try following these steps:

  • Check the bulb to see if it is burnt out.
  • Make sure the bulb is tightly screwed into the socket.
  • Check to see if the metal socket tab in the bottom center of the socket is flattened. If so, bend it up slightly so it makes contact with the bulb.
  • Make sure the connections at the switch are tight.
  • Check the wire connections at the fixture and breaker panel to make sure they are connected tightly.
  • Make sure the bulbs have the proper wattage for the light fixture.
  • Plug the light into a different socket to see if it works there.
  • If none of these steps work, call us for lighting repair services.
