It is very important that worn or damaged electrical items are taken out of service and repaired / replaced.
If you observe any arcing / flashes in switches, outlets that do not grip the plug properly, replace immediately. Regularly examine power cords for ware, repair / replace any defective cords. Discoloured / blackened / anything that has any kind of burnt smell to it, discontinue using and repair / replace. Any cords that feel warm or hot to the touch means it is overloaded, perhaps an undersized extension is in use. Filtering lights / fluctuations in voltages could mean a lose wire on the circuit, needs to urgently investigated, will be covered in the article 'Trouble Shooting Problems', it is far better to stop using an item, to shut down a circuit that has an issue until it is investigated and properly addressed / fixed then to continue using something that could cause a fire or cause injuries, and sometimes fatal. Some things in life can be safely put off, dangerous electrical faults is one item that can be tragic if not promptly addressed and corrected. By: Donald Kerr
