Turns out this was the issue and they fixed the bad neutral wire today. Thanks again for your replies/suggestions! This was precisely the issue and they replaced the neutral connection earlier today. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your advice! I did exactly that: incandescent bulb still flickered (badly) and reported to SCE using the keywords you suggested. Within two hours they were here and had fixed a bad neutral connection. Truly appreciate your advice!

Will do. Thanks. Earlier today some new Philips bulbs arrived to replace the old, cheap bulbs in my house. I started with the floor lamp in my and replaced the bulb. Now it flickers much more often and almost dims to being off. What should I do - I thought the new bulb would be less bad than the old...

Roger that. Ok, thanks. I'll definitely have them come take a look.

I asked a couple neighbors and they've never had any flickering issues like me.

I'm in Ventura County

It honestly never occurred to me that I might need dimmable bulbs. My house had all these switches and bulbs and stuff installed when I bought it in 2014. I haven't set up any programs/themes for lighting and never messed too much with dimming so I just manually on/off everything and only have replaced a dead PLM and gone into admin console because the irrigation stopped randomly a couple times. The 1-2 times I've replaced a bulb it didn't cross my mind to not grab a cheap LED for that kind of switch. A bunch of Philips warm glow bulbs are coming today, so I hope that helps. Thank you for looking into load minimums, I really appreciate that. The flicker definitely also happens on floor lamps with the little outlet adapter as well as lamps straight into wall outlets. A bathroom fixture with 3 LEDs that runs on a simple on/off dumb switch flickers. I didn't even know there were non-dimmable bulbs installed anywhere. I've never used any dimming features so after reading every thread on this site re:flicker I learned the only thing that was dim is me. Everything will be be soft glows later today. I had an electrician come over a few days ago. I was noticing more and more flickering, googled it and didn't want to chance a fire. He took a look at the breakers and found nothing that looked suspect, I asked about the power util company being a culprit so he looked on what he called "their" side of the breakers, too. While he did, I asked if maybe the issue is with the home automation stuff inside and he suddenly was in a big hurry to bail. He told me to call SCE and left.

Is there any way to find out the minimum load for my switches? (2774D, 2476D, 2477DH, 2472D, 2476S, 2466S, 2876DB, 2473) I'm experiencing sporadic flicker/dimming of lights all over the house and have spent hours reading old threads here. Some lamps had old, non-dimmable LED bulbs connected to a dimmer switch. Some plug into an outlet not connected to Insteon. The fixture in a bathroom is on a simple, old on/off switch and it flickers.
