Sorry to hear you are having problems. I've had them for 6 years and I've never had any problems with them, at all. Are all the bulbs securely set into their track?

Mine are also on a dimmer, but I've never used it, at least not on purpose. I've never even had a bulb burn out. I love them.

Good luck.

We had ours for over 3 years and no problems  never even had to change a bulb. IÂm no longer in that house or IÂd take a closer look at the connections. I just wanted you to know that in my experience, your problem is not common.

I hope others can help!

Are yours a linear lighting system? I know Seagull and Kichler had/have similar systems.

If so, and if it is similar at all to Kichler's linear lighting system (tracks w/ wires and bulb holders that clip on to the wires/tracks)--no time to post a link or pics, then it could be the bulb holders themselves.

We had that exact same problem with our Kichler U/C lights. Some would light, some not, when we turned on the U/C's. Some always needed to be flicked, others tooks turns, and others always lit. I called kichler initially, ~ 3 yrs ago, but problem never resolved. I finally got fed up, and called again last fall. Woman there checked with a guy in tech svce who suggested that we might have had the older style lampholders, that were known for this problem (!). They sent out a few of the new and improved holders for us to try out. They worked perfectly. They sent us, at no cost, replacements for all the lampholders (+/- 25, + some add'l bulbs for the future).

Now I can honestly say, I love my U/C lights. I was very annoyed with them before.

Worth looking into.....

They are the ones in the track w/ wires and bulb holders....

I guess we can talk to SeaGull (or the store who sold us the stuff).

Thanks for the information!
