Firstly, don't ignore the smell as it could indicate a serious electrical problem. Safely turn off the power at the main electrical panel and contact a professional electrician immediately to inspect and resolve the issue.

Flickering lights may be caused by loose connections, overloaded circuits, or faulty wiring. It's best to consult an electrician to diagnose the exact cause and provide a proper solution.
