What would cause a single track lighting fixture to flicker?

A flickering light could be caused by one of several issues in the electrical system. Assuming the track is 100% okay, it could be the way the fixture is mounted. It must make solid contact with the electrical rails in the track. The contacts must be good. Are they clean and solid? Is the wiring in the fixture okay? All the way from the track pickups to the socket? Is the wiring at the socket solidly connected to the socket itself? Is the socket clean and in good shape? How about the lamp contacts? Are they clean and in good shape? Bayonet-mounted lamps with two "pins" that push into spring-loaded socket contacts can become oxidized and become intermittant. Sockets are the most vulnerable point in the circuit outside the lamp filament, which can just "burn out" as we all know. And when in doubt, replace the lamp and see what's up. If you've done that and it still flickers, the socket (first place) and the track contacts (second place) are the next places to look for trouble.
