All light bulbs flicker, it&#39;s just that it happens so fast, you can&#39;t see it happening. The reason is that they&#39;re on an AC current (Alternating). The voltage changes so rapidly that the bulbs appear to stay constant to the naked eye.

@netweiser, its more than likely the bulbs them selves that are faulty ;)

Did you keep the receipt? :D

It is more likley to be the wiring or the connections, maybe you should get an electrician in.
