Here is a video of my ceiling fan light. When it is first turned on with the switch it flickers like this, then gradually slows until it stays on. It has 2 remotes with 3 speeds for the fan and a light button which does on and off and dims.
Any thoughts? I checked the connections at the switch, but haven't taken down the light yet.

Looks like time to call ghostbusters. I would go on line and find the manufacturer. Maye they can help out.
Looks like a disco room to me.I would leave it like that and make that my party room. :lol:
Now if u want to fix it then u might want to pull the ceiling fan down and check the connection there. :icon_thumright:
or since you have a remote then (just a wild guess)it might be in that dunno.
But id say if u have already check your switch and it looks fine then its probbaly gonna be at your fan.
Note: i do not consider myself a electrician by no means.
I would have to say that you more than likely have a loose connection somewhere, check the neutral in the light, and it is arcing (could heat up and cause a fire) which is where you are getting the strobing effect from. I would look at it as soon as possible. Good Luck.
You should probably call an Exorcist........or maybe an electrician. ;D

Not the switch, definately in the connection to or actually in the fan. I urge you to get an electrician out there. That could easily cause a fire if it arcs in a dry attic.
I think the problem is that you need to" Let your little light shine."
TRKYHTR
Unfortunately, I am trying to "Let it Shine". Just not working well. Try to set an example for the kids, but am lazy quite a few mornings here lately.
I won't turn it on again until I can get the light down and check it out. There is no attic, it is in between the floor above and my ceiling.
Thanks guys!! I knew OG would know!
So, after church I set out to fix my light. So, I had already checked the connections at the switch and they were fine. So I took off the cover and checked all exposed wires and found the LIVE wire had a slit in the cover, not the problem, so I taped it. Then noted a ground wasn't connected any longer, so fixed that. Still nothing. Went to Lowe's and got a new switch and new module for the remotes and new batteries. Well, first replaced the switch and nothing, then replaced the module, and VIOLA!, all fixed now.
I have no idea how long it had been there, but I would think it would last a little longer than at the most 15 years, but maybe not.
Here is a pic of the module.
