Should have said that I sorted mine. Removed the offending light unit and found that some of the plastic around where the bulb sits had melted into a nice blob that made the bulb a tight fit. Took a dremel to flatten it back down and it's been perfect since. I believe that led bulbs can add there own set of problems causing other bulbs to flicker.Remove the light and check for clearance around the bulb. A bet it is out of shape and the close proximity of the bulb to the light fitting causes it to over heat and blow.
