Tips


When an outdoor light goes out or flickers but the bulb is good: Turn off power to the circuit. Remove the bulb. Use an emery board to sand away any rust or corrosion from the metal contacts on the socket. Then, spray them with an automotive-ignition sealer to block out moisture and prevent further corrosion. Clean and spray the contacts annually.
