    If it's OK with you then it's OK.
    It is quite safe. But if it annoys you (it would annoy me) and you are happy with the light from the new bulb, just go ahead and replace the other bulbs with the same brand.

    If one or maybe 2 bulbs flicker, then replace them. If a whole room full of bulbs flickers then it's more likely to be a wiring issue. 
    Oh ok, that’s good to know. I’ll try and remember that in future. 

  • Can I just say thank you to all the contributors for giving me a lesson on how to change a light bulb 🙄 and not making me feel like a complete stupid idiot x 
  • I know I’m being a right pain. Can I ask another question please?
    So, I managed to replace the one bulb that was blown. But when I switch the lights on, the one new bulb comes on a second before the other bulbs come on. Is this ok or not? 
    Thanks 
    It wouldn't (doesn't) bother me but I am interested if anyone can explain why this happens?

    I sometimes get a slight delay in mine lighting up and can "see" the circuit being completed. I don't really get why it happens occasionally.
    No man is worth crawling on this earth.

    So much to read, so little time.
