Fixture noises are not common, look for these problems
[ad#block]I have new lamps above the bathroom mirror. They make a “click” noise when turned on at uneven intervals and even make the click noise for a long time after the lamp is turned off.
This electrical wiring question came from: Sarah, a Homeowner from Costa Mesa, California

Thanks for your electrical wiring question Sarah.
How to Check Noisy Light Fixtures
Fixture noises are not common, look for these problems
- Sarah, you should have this light fixture checked out.
- If the noise is happening then you should double check the bulbs to make sure they are the right size.
- This noise may be cause by expansion and contraction of the fixture parts due to heat being produced while the fixture is on, but I do not encounter this very often. If in doubt, check it out!

The Safest Way to Test Electrical Devices and Identify Electric Wires!
The Non-Contact Electrical Tester
This is a testing tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and is the first test tool I grab to help identify electrical wiring. It is a Non-contact tester that I use to easily Detect Voltage in Cables, Cords, Circuit Breakers, Lighting Fixtures, Switches, Outlets and Wires. Simply insert the end of the tester into an outlet, lamp socket, or hold the end of the tester against the wire you wish to test. Very handy and easy to use.

My absolute favorite wire stripping tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and this is the tool I use to safely strip electrical wires.
This handy tool has multiple uses:
The wire gauges are shown on the side of the tool so you know which slot to use for stripping insulation.
The end of the tool can be used to grip and bend wire which is handy for attaching wire onto the screw terminals of switches and outlets..
