Traced a tricky on-and-off light problem to the panel

I had this light that kept going on and off. After checking everything, I found a loose wire in the panel. A quick tighten fixed it.

Did you catch that article about loose wires in electrical panels? I was reading how they cause most intermittent light issues. It said the constant on and off comes from the connection breaking and making contact. That arcing can actually start a fire if it gets bad enough. Your story is a perfect example of why we should not ignore those little flickers. Fixing it fast like you did is the smart move.
