Advice on a ceiling light fitting

Hello all,
Just hoping that someone with some electrical knowledge can offer any opinions on what could be the problem. I will contact our electrician who has recently done some work in the house but they aren’t open until Monday.
We’ve recently done up the kitchen and had some electrical work done - light switches moved, appliance connections added, under counter lights (all by the professional).
We ourselves have also fitted a new ceiling light (6-arm with led bulbs on end of each arm). There were no problems during the fitting, all worked and easily connected about 3 days ago.
Today whilst switched on, the light was dimming and then returning to full brightness all on its own. It’s not on a dimmer switch, so this seems worrying to me.
Any suggestions on why this might occur? Or should I be calling in the electrician to check it?
Thanks in advance!

It sounds like it's a probably loose wire somewhere, the electrician should be able to sort it out quickly if that is the problem0
