Bathroom light didn’t work for 2 days, then it worked for 5 hours now out again

Not sure if it’s the light? I’m not sure why it’d turn back on perfectly after two days then fail again 5 hours later

Overhead light with a glass cap on it? Not sure how to describe it, not a tradie. Gonna unscrew it tomorrow and check. Weird that it wouldn’t work for that long then not work, then work again. Doesn’t seem like the bulb is the issue

Seems like it’s some kind of wiring issue, hopefully I can make sense of it. Not sure why it turned back on

I went full Tradie today and watched some YouTube’s and installed and wired new lighting in my house. Just youtube a video and follow the steps. Just be sure to flip off the breakers first or you’ll surly die when touching the wires.

I flipped mine off and was still nervous about getting zapped the full time. But from my one day of tradie work today, it’s probably a wire that was a bad connection. Just re-weave the wire to the wire and screw the little cap back on and prob will work.

Id guess wire connections are loose most likely at the switch, fiddling turning it on and off can temporarily fix it. Like a head phone wire that will start working when you bend it a certain way or a phone charger

One incel to hold the light bulb

And 0.5 manlet to ask the misc "my screw is in her socket, whut do?"
