I installed spiral fluorescent light bulbs and a motion activated light switch for my kitchen light and noticed that it flickered when it was inactivated. From what I understand, the motion switch doesn't stop the current completely; it uses a small amount to run the motion sensor. That small amunt of current will build up in the flourescent bulb and discharge causing it to flicker. Fortunately, the light fixture I had held two bulbs and I simply replaced one of the two spiral fluoresent bulbs with a regular incandescent bulb and the flickering stopped. Based on that,I assume some current is still getting to yourlight bulb which is causing it to flicker.

Can you put 75 watts when 60 watts is recommended for fixture?
The fixture manufacturer goes on the side of safety. A 75 watt bulb puts out both more light and heat than a 60 watt bulb. It can make the fixture burn out sooner. For even more light, why don't you go with a florescent and get a 27 watt bulb that gives off the same amount of light as a 100 watt bulb? That will give off far less heat and be far better for your fixture?
