Does not happen anywhere else in our house so scratching my head about this.
This is what happens to LED lights when they start to fail. Unfortunately with the rise in the popularity of LED lighting a lot of cheaply made ones have made their way into our homes, with most coming from China. Given the high initial cost that is no longer offset by the longer lifespan I'm almost considering going back to standard lightbulbs.
